Some BMW 528i owners report experiencing issues with their vehicle not starting due to a drivetrain malfunction, which can stem from various complex factors. Common causes include transmission problems such as leaking fluid, worn-out gears, or malfunctioning sensors, all of which can trigger the drivetrain malfunction warning light. Additionally, owners may find that despite having power, their vehicle won't start due to battery and electrical system issues, faulty fuel or ignition components, and sensor failures. To effectively diagnose and resolve these problems, a methodical testing of different systems and components is recommended to isolate the root cause of the drivetrain malfunction.
