Engine failure (with only 60K miles on it) while driving at 70mph within minutes of warning light saying 'drivetrain malfunction'. the engine shut off, car went into neutral and I had to manually steer and brake to get to the side of the freeway. Within minutes, the battery died, so I couldn't even put the car into neutral to get it onto the flatbed tow truck. I eventually was able to get it towed to the dealer where I bought it cpo in 2015 and have had it serviced (i had even had it serviced there 3 weeks before this incident). the engine had received the "customer care package" in 2015, and I've only had it serviced through BMW dealers. 3 days after I had the car towed to the dealer, the sa told me there was a complete engine failure and they would replace the engine. it's been there for 4 months now, waiting for a new engine, and the manager of the service department can't provide an estimate on when the new engine will arrive. I contacted BMW na, and they were also unable to tell me when a replacement engine could be expected. I'm not even sure I want a replacement engine that has the potential to fail again.
