Check drivetrain warning light

Hi I have a 2012 1 series Msport 116i. I was driving down the street when a warning lift came up and on the screen it said Get drivetrain checked soon. Possible to continue journey.

Does anyone have any idea what that might be? Seems to be a pretty generic warning but I assume since it said I can continue my journey it's nothing too serious? (She said hopefully)

I had the same warning and there was some juddering from the engine. A restart solved my problem that time but the warning came again in a week so I took my car for inspection. They said that according to the fault codes there was a misfire because of ignition, coils or injectors. They changed the spark plugs and I haven't had the problem since.

My car is 2011 f20 116i with a ecu tune

Turned out to be a blocked pipe in the turbo cooling pump. £150 for BMW to replace so not as bad as it could have been!

Thanks for the help!
