I know this discussion has been focused on X5M's, but I received the "Engine Malfunction. Reduced Power. Possible To Continue. Have Checked at nearest BMW Center" warning in my 2009 X5 xDrive 35d. This occurred during a casual, highway jaunt in Alabama. SA told me to stop the car, wait a while and see if the warning returns. I did and it did.
The warning popped up numerous times over the weekend before I could get the vehicle to my dealer. I did notice it appeared more frequently when reducing throttle position.
Anyway, my car has been in the shop for 3 days and the findings are a worn/loose hose was allowing too much air into the intake system. They will be replacing the hose and two bolts. Hope this fixes the issue.
I have owned the X5 since 2012 buying it used off the lot with 29k miles. I love it and hope this issue is fixed and don't have to deal with the difficult experiences that J endured.
