Re: F10- Drivetrain
I had this drivetrain error occured in my F10 before. Due to a faulty module connected to the accelerator. Downtime was 5days, inclusive of part delivery from Malaysia and reprogramming of software. I advise you to insist for replacement car before you send your ride in. Hope it helps.

Please demand. Its really inconvenient without car for almost a week and I was only given a few taxi vouchers, and the SA can emphasized to me its based on goodwill, not standard procedure.

Re: F10- Drivetrain
No.
Some errors are really parts breakdown and you cannot clear it just by restarting.
Maybe PML -
1) managed to trace the error to a fault and replaced a common part that is prone to breakdown that they have stock on hand or
2) they cannot find any fault so just cleared off the fault code so that you can have your car back fast

Re: F10- Drivetrain
Drivetrain malfunction...can be part spoil or just a connector loose...Usually related to something the sensor can sense...or just software.
If you sensor can't sense it, it will not throw the drivetrain malfunction even when the car breakdown. Then you have a headache because you don't know what could be spoilt.
Drivetrain malfunction don't need to reset de. You fix the thing that is wrong, the next time you start up it will be gone.
Do note that even some of the high end non-bmw obd readers cannot read fault code when the car throws drivetrain malfunction.

Re: F10- Drivetrain
I had a drive train error while driving to work yesterday. There was a warning to drive at moderate speed when the error came up on my dashboard. the car slowed and jerked. I parked the car, turn off ignition and called PML. SA told me to drive to the service center. I restarted the engine and the error was gone. However, the drive is not smooth and the car seems like there is not much power to climb a gradual slope. Based on the symptoms, SA told me that it could be spark plug issue and need to replace all for $100 a piece. The car is less than 3 years old with a mileage of 40K. still under warranty. Going back to PML on Monday to replace the plugs. *** sigh ***
