Hi folks,

It seems ages since I started this thread but thought I would just post an update, finally picked up the replacement X5 M today, glad to be back in an M, ok so far but with only 30 miles on the clock its fingers crossed.

Got this Warning 3 months ago when accelerating hard in Sport mode up a slight incline and turning all at the same time. Diagnosis? Bad Sensor.
Happened again last week with virtually the same conditions. This time they said it was a collapsed vacuum hose and replaced it with a heavier duty version. Really made me wonder if this car needs to be babied. Makes no sense for a brawny SUV with a decent German pedigree.....but the only time I've seen these codes thrown are when I've pushed the envelope a bit.
When I asked the Service Department if this was a common fault in the X5M they just shrugged their shoulders. They just don't see enough of them to know.
Excepting this inconvenience and the poorly designed DVD screen (cannot access main storage compartment with the screen down) I absolutely love this car and like climbing in daily after thirty thousand miles.

My turn.......

Hi. I have a 2012 X5M. Dinan tuned though. I was crusing on the highway yesterday on my way back from work. Had the M mode on. Suddenly noted a power loss and the " Engine malfunction: reduced power!!!" error came on. Tried turning the truck off and restarting. The error persisted. I took it to the dealer last evening. They have not got back to me yet....

From what I have been reading looks like people who have had this issue needed to have their injectors replaced. Have a feeling that it will be few weeks before I get my truck back...

Will keep the thread updated based on what I hear from the dealer....

I also have a 2012 X5M and had the dreaded malfunction reduced power light came on while driving in M mode cruising about 70mph. Just dropped it off at the dealer. It has 16k miles and this is the first major issue.
