X5 M Engine Fault Reduced Power Warning

stlcity · #1 10-08-2013, 07:50 AM

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.

Just got a call back from the dealer and they are replacing the injectors
