2015 X5M Drivetrain Malfunction multiple times

[hinton]

I have an x5m 2015 stock, with 33000km, today i had 4 drivetrain malfuctions while on most aggressive settings.

In ds manual mode and shifting about 5500rpm to next gear i will hear that exhaust rasp and then the drivetrain malfunction comes on. Very reduced power.

The fix is to turn the truck off and right back on again.
I have a cel and read the code with p10b2 error specific to dealer, called the dealer and have an 8am on monday for emergency service.

Will update if i have more info. The issue does not seem in efficient and comfort tranny, supsension, setting mode.

If this has been posted already please direct me accordingly. I have seen a bunch on the 5.0i version but not much mention on the M series.

This is shocking but buying an M to baby it makes no sense.

Don't get me wrong, i don't redline and have never done launch control. I also have an e46 zcp m3 manual with never an issue as second owner. I did see this issue with my other current 2013 X5 3.5i m sport as "engine malfunction"

Any suggestions?

Yes i did get new gas from shell in canada 91 oct last night, i did check the cap and it seems tight...

I got this msg a few days ago in the morning during first start of the day. The car sounded so sluggish when i started it, the sound was a bogging noise. I turned the car off and back on, and the msg was still there but the car itself sounded better then the initial start. It was 30 degrees that day, i dont know if that matters.. but it was first time getting that msg. As day turned to night and the weather started cooling down, the msg went away. Did not have a chance to scan it before msg went away. It hasnt come back yet, keep us posted on what the dealer says monday, mines 2016 x6m.

I used to have this issue a bunch of times previously on the 50i and I hope i never come across it in my M. A lot of times thought it is a sensor issue which is quite annoying given that they had years to fix it...

sitting at the dealer now while they scan the car. was not able to create the problem all day yesterday. it was a hot day too on Sunday, 34 C with humidity closer to about 40C.

really weird.

The prelim diagnosis was not good.

The code pointed to low coolant in one of two rads? Also investigating a possible pump failure or sticky/seizing hence why it was intermittent.

I am expecting a call back later today. Surprising for a 33000km vehicle.

Once i get the diagnosis sheet i will post the root cause with solution.

I guess this was a severe mechanical issue based on what the service manager said.

first radiator was the fault, lost coolant. rock flew up "apparently", pierced the rad and i lost the first rad.

not covered under warranty considered "act of god"

that's it, i would be happy to answer any questions if there are any.

now going to shop for a rad grille guards, if they even exist.

how large of a rock hit your rad? thats pretty BS. if a rock large enough is able to hit your RAD and damage to that point its a design flaw. i would fight that
