My fiancé was shopping at the mall today and received the "drivetrain malfunction" error. This was the first time either of us had seen this after about 1800 miles (PCD on 11/20/13). She said it seemed as if the car was idling awkwardly and struggling a bit. She did a couple of restarts and drove home from the mall.

I have yet to drive it - but assume we need to take the X5 50i to the dealership immediately. I've searched some of the forums and have seen postings about replacing the injectors, but I've also seen some reports where their vehicle has been at the dealer for a long period of time.

Should we go to the dealer immediately or is this something to just keep an eye on?

Obviously very excited for our friends and family to see the new SUV over the holidays and don't want to have to put the new X5 in the shop during the holidays.

Any advice would be appreciated regarding information on this error alert.
