Last week I got in my car and was met with a Drivetrain System Failure message. I couldn't put the car in gear or neutral. I called my recovery company who said they couldnt get a recovery truck on my drive and suggested I call BMW to see if they could send someone to release the car somehow so it could be moved.
I called the dealership and BMW Assist both of which were no help.
Eventually the recovery company sent a robot to recover it. Quite a piece of kit.

My dealership diagnosed it as a parking brake actuator. Sadly the car is out of warranty by 8 months so I had to bear the cost £750 incl. fitting. This is the second major issue outside of warranty and getting a bit tired of the unreliability of what is otherwise a great car. Mailed BMW but they couldn't give a sh*t given its out of warranty. They did at least understand my frustration...ffs
