    Drivetrain warning light

    Occasionally my 2013 F30 has a drive train warning stating to stop car and call roadside assistance. For several minutes the car won't start. Is there some procedure to correct this issue? Is transmission failing? After waiting for some time the car starts and drives normally.

    You must scan it and read the fault codes. Your car is capable of telling you what is wrong. Anything else is just a guess.
