Good morning ladies and gents! Current Stage 2 power mods are just a VRSF catless downpipe and Ecutek dyno tune on 93 pump. Car feels amazing! Should've come this way from the factory.
Any way, to the point of the story. My buddy has all of the parts to go Stage 2 as well but hasn't pulled the trigger as of yet. We left a cars and coffee event and headed to a deserted part of the highway, he was in my car and I was in his because he wanted to feel the difference. He was blown away by the smoothness of the power delivery and the power itself. We switched back into our own cars as he wanted to hear my car's exhaust from behind. I was in 4th gear and initiated the rolling anti lag feature of the Ecutek (awesome!) as I'd done before. The car hit redline in 4th gear and instead of shifting, popped a Drivetrain Error - Continued Driving Possible code and stayed stuck in 4th. I could manually upshift on the dash display, but the transmission wouldn't change gears. Switched to Normal mode: Same. Pulled off the highway and let it idle down for a few minutes, put it into P just fine, shut it off for a minute, turned it back on and voila. started and went into gear like nothing had ever happened.
I'm taking it into my tuner today to see if he can pull any of the historic error codes to see if we can figure it out or if it was just a fluke. Will post results later today.
Has anyone experienced this before? I searched this and BMW forums to no avail.
