550e Check Engine

About 1800 miles on my 550e. Used sport mode yesterday for a fun run. Went out this am and check engine light on. Reset with my obd reader.

Went to a meeting and got front collision warning error. Did 70 second drive reboot. Error persisted.

Came out of meeting about 3 hrs later and no error messages.

Any thoughts? Hopefully won’t come back.

You know I had the same thing in my 540iX yesterday and this morning. Yesterday I got a check engine light when I started the car to swap around because my wife was going to the dog park. I decided to "Let it ride" instead of resetting it. I wanted to see if it would reset itself.

Nope, this morning it did not start to condition 15 min before departure as normal, and when I went out to the car it said "Parameters for remote start have not been met." And the check engine light was still lit. I plugged in my BimmerUtility dongle and reset the codes. then rebooted IDrive. The check engine was still lit, but after I stopped at the local Dumpster to throw out the trash, when I got back in the car and started up the check engine light was gone. This is the second time my car has done this since I took delivery last Nov. I still have not gone to the dealer to get this looked at. I need to get the oil changed post Break in. When I do I will ask them to check it out and also if they can do a SW update. I have not received it yet and am still on 7.2024.40.

My 530ix did this after about a month of ownership did a remote start got in the car and the check engine light was on drove to Walmart came back to the car light was off

I did take it to the dealer week later they said it needed an update something about 48V any way it never came back on car has 5700 miles
2024.

I would take it to the dealer to have them check the codes even though the light isn't on those codes are stored.
