Hello I see there was a recall on a malfunction of the engine were the engine stalls due to timing chain and internal parts that gives the engine power. My car showed and emergency indicator light that said engine oil pressure low and to carefully stop and stop engine of risk of damage. Then another indicator that stated engine compartment hot. This was done and the car towed and now the engine has a knocking noise so not driving it. Looking forward to hearing back from you asap as there telling me at BMW that that recall is no longer in effect which doesn't make since to me. Thanks again

The car has displayed "drivetrain malfunction, drive moderately" twice now in less than one year of ownership. When this display has occurred, the car goes into "limp mode" and can only be driven at low speeds or with very sluggish acceleration. This is a safety hazard, as it becomes easy to be rear-ended by another driver when it slows substantially.
