Having seven years of driving my (original owner) 2014 BEV with minimal issues, I recently upgraded to a new 2021 i3s BEV and was surprised to receive a "Drivetrain: Check soon" error message yesterday on the instrument cluster.
The control display (iDrive) provides more details:
During my 2-mile/day run to the grocery store the car still drives perfectly. I did a search before posting here for "Check soon" and received no results.
With seven years under my belt owning an early-production i3 BEV I'm a bit surprised to get drivetrain errors from a final-year production model.
I'll shortly be doing a Bimmerlink error-code check before making a dealer (warranty) visit but just wanted to see if anyone else here has gotten a "Drivetrain: Check soon" error.
Many thanks!

High-voltage system:
You can continue driving.
Have the system checked by your service center to prevent subsequent damage.
