I had this problem also
I had about 3300 miles on the car and got the engine malfunction. A lot of engine vibration also. They changed the O2 sensor. It worked for about a half a day. Then the vibration came back along with the limp mode and warnings.
It turned out to be an injector. They were out of stock, none in US, waiting for parts in Germany. Two weeks later, got my car back. Runs fine. Still a little strange that they wouldn't have spare parts in the US. |

just bought my 2013 X1 4 weeks ago and had 2200 miles on it. I drove on the freeway this morning to work and all the sudden got the "engine malfunction and reduce power" message from onboard computer...

Just got a call from BMW service rep, they told me they need to replace the turbo charger unit because of its malfunction. My question is the car only had 2000 miles on it, how it that possible the turbo charger unit is no good.....

Turbo failures are pretty uncommon for BMW but a broken waste gate is possible but those are easy to detect. I wonder if this will fix the problem.
Are most or all these reduced engine power problems isolated to the low emission N26 perhaps? |

Had the same problem when test driving a F30 328i a few weeks ago. That car only had like 5 miles on it. Seriously, it really brings up my concern about the reliability of the new N20 turbo.

I am in Canada. Had the same problem back in Jan this year. I only had the car for 4 weeks at the time. I was on a long trip on the highway when the engine light came on yellow and then engine starts shaking and decrease in power on the highway. The engine light became RED. It turns out the one of the injector was bad. Luckily there was 1 injector instock at another dealership. I got the car back in 2 days.
I made a complain to BMW relation and I they never got back to me. Today the engine light came on again. I am not happy with this one so far.

Engine Malfunction - Reduced Power
Quote:
any update about this warning? I experienced it 5 days ago aboiut 2 hours after filling gas. No obvious functional impairment of vehicle. I felt it was akin to the check engine warning and warning did go away after stopping the car and restarting a couple of times that day. It recurred tonight for no apparent reason. I'd thought I'd see if I can bring any thoughts here to the dealer I will be visiting now... |

My dad had a similar issue with his M235i. Took three tries for the dealership to figure it out. In the end they ended up replacing part of the wiring harness.

I'm the OP on this thread. That was over 2 years ago. The problem never reoccured with my X1. Continues to run fine. If it had happened again I would surely have taken the car in for a serious check.

I had the warning come up about 5 times over a two week period. Service manager said it might be related to higher ethanol content in gas. I use Esso Premium and still do. I booked an appointment for after the holidays but cancelled as I had not seen the message for over three weeks.

Hi all,
I came across this post because I'm having the same problem. However, living in Europe, I have the 2.3 diesel model developing 204 horsepower. After doing the oil service I was confronted with this "loss of power" error message. I went to the garage and they changed the "mass air flow sensor" Unfortunately the error message reappears. Having done some research on the internet I came across the following points which could be the cause of the problem: Clogged filters, Turbo problems, Faulty fuel injectors, EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) valve problems, Pressure sensor Defective turbocharger (MAP), Failed fuel pump, Exhaust system problems, Defective battery or alternator, Software or electrical problems. Excuse me in advance this email has been translated into English perhaps the terms used do not correspond to the actual translation If you have had solutions to your problems, I am interested! |
