Drivetrain and Battery Issue 2021 X5

Hi, vehicle just out of warranty by a month and started getting intermittent fault. 

Driving along, suddenly ‘press start button’ appears and car dies. Press start button and all ok. Then drivetrain warning fault appears on dash, dive moderately. Usually a few miles later get a battery warning ‘do not drive car battery fault’. Stop car, restart and fault codes have cleared!

Sometimes doesn’t  re-occur for many days. I have noticed that it usually occurs when I”m slowing down and driving very slowly.

Other than that car drives perfectly normally, everything works as normal and have not experienced any starting issues to indicate poor battery charge.

Anybody help? 2021 X5 3.0D 63000 miles

Many Thanks

Andy

Hi Andy. 
my first thought is a dead battery cell. Either replace the battery or check the alternator for correct output power. 
 

cheers.

      Air bag fault

      Hello Dave. I don’t know if it will stop the engine from running, I read it in one of the BMW forums. The strange thing is that I don’t get a fault on my dash!! only on the OBD. I got my first 735 last August, loved it from the first ride, and now I am trying to fix all those little things that the main BMW dealer have not bothered to put right, hence my questions. Almost there!! Many thanks Dimitri

      Air bag fault

      Not unusual for the oil level sensor to fail but never heard of one stopping the engine starting, though it does sound logical I changed 3 on the 4.6is but you have to wait until Oil Change as they are in the bottom of the sump Dave

      X1 2024 Recall pillar problem

      Exactly I had to point out I had taken legal advice (luckily had a good pal who is a solicitor) before they took it seriously, they too gave me a rather rough 220i and seem to think that’s good enough for now !
