2017 X5 40e - Drivetrain Malfunction

I received this message yesterday...I was driving up a slight incline in Econ Pro mode using just the electric motor...the engine kicked in and I heard a clunk, then the message appears on screen. I continue driving, get on freeway, not exceeding 65. Car is still in Econ Pro mode, I make it home, no problem. I turn off the car...restart, no message. I let it sit for a few hours...drive it around in all three modes, Sport, Comfort and Econ Pro. Drives fine, no problems or messages. I take it to an independent BMW shop this morning...they run the scan, it comes back with multiple codes all related to the hybrid system and I should take it to the BMW dealership. I didn't ask what they codes were...my head was spinning and I was thinking about how much $$$ its going to be to fix it. My car is 1 month out from CPO warranty. I have an appointment on Wednesday....hoping its a software issue. I doubt it...but we will see.

Anyone else have this happen?

thx.
