dies on reverse

so the car is at 50k, 2 weeks after the 48000k maintainence and this started to happen

random mornings when i reverse out of the driveway, the car would just die and turns neutral. its pretty simliar to stick shift and starting the car with bad clutch.

anyone else had this happen to their x1?

strange...I recall some older cars suffering from similar issues. Stuck torque converter lock-up was the cause. In modern cars it could be a lot of things. Hope it's cheap, whatever it is. I'd be asking BMW to comp the fix based on the fact that it's barely out of warranty

I've got a X1 sDrive 18i (N46 engine) and that has occurred a couple of times during reverse as well. The car would just 'stall' and switch off the engine while in the reverse gear (automatic). The car has turned off on me whilst at the traffic lights as well in drive mode. Oddly enough this never happens when I drive in tip tronic.

Another question is which transmission... The 6 speed or the 8 speed transmission?

the thing about the dealership is that they always give me this bs..

"we have to see it or we can't do anything" , "or its gonna charge you"

its pretty pathetic.
