The strangest thing is that aside from a couple of times that my regen brakes stopped working (an issue BMW attributed to my DSC which they replaced) my car has never ran strange or been problematic even with all these recurring CELs.
Nope, never had that come on. I've had my share of transmission issues, but never the engine. Do you know if the CEL applies to the ICE only, or if could be the e motor, too. 17 months of ownership and about 12000 miles.
I believe it applies to the entire drivetrain since the first time it came on I was told it was a "charging fault".
