Jerky DCT, DSC malfuction, Engine malfuction and then a Limp
It was a perfect afternoon and I was on my way to pick up a copy of FF XIII. Just as I pulled into bestbuy's parking lot, I noticed an unusual jerky gear change from the DCT (mind you the car is flashed according to SIB280708 last June). Didn't really mind it and kept driving toward a small intersection with stop signs and an incline. I fully stopped the car and gave it a little gas when it was my term to move but I soon notice the hill assist was completely gone and I had to give a little bit more gas than I usually do to prevent rolling further back or possibly stall. Got out of the intersection, I was scratching on my head and the next thing i found out is my iDrive telling me DSC malfunction, Engine malfunction and of course a limp mode (see pics below)
could this be the idle valve cause that's the only known issue that has not happened on my car... All the above incidents happened in a parking lot, hence, really slow speed.

Those syptoms fall right in line with the idle control valvle. Mine went bad at 12000 miles, so that is a definite possibility.

I got these exact same errors today.
I was already at the dealer though, so luckily I just left the car there. I hope its just the idle control valve. I have Dinan software and Akra full exhaust. My dealer is a Dinan dealer also, so hopefully they don't try to blame it on the software or exhaust.

I hope all works out in your favor. But don't they (whatever powers that be) have to prove it (that your Dinan has anything to do with it, beyond a reasonable doubt?)? I only ask because I know that Steve’s stuff doesn’t come cheap, and since I haven’t had much to do with the “aftermarket” in a decade, I was curious. Again, best of luck. |

Im guessing its the idle control valve though. I have had the Dinan software in the car for the last 2500KMs though with zero issues. I should mention that I have a 6spd though.

I am looking at a 2011,are there still all these problems with. DCT. Sure don't need a 80 k car that don't work like a champ. It even seemed BMW did not care about fixing it.

Buy the 2011. These problems are sporadic and not endemic to the car. BMW will stand behind your car. High performance cars are also high strung.

Have had no issues yet, only 17k miles though. Keeping my fingers crossed, don't want her to be stuck at the dealership.

Ha, while yes it isnt endemic to the car asking BMW to stand behind their product is asking a lot... Atleast for me.
