Then after I got out to my destination and came back everything was fine. I pushed the car multiple times and nothing. However I could feel a slight shaking at acceleration. Then the dreaded warning light came back on and I decided to just leave the car and drive home at 60mph with no pressure on it. When I got home I switched it on and off after 5 minutes to try to reset it but it remained. Then after around 10 minutes of normal driving it went away and that’s where I’m at now. I’ve asked for a call from bmw to get it serviced but I was wondering if anyone has any idea what this is due to? The car has only done 13,000 miles it is a MY16 and all services have been carried out at bmw.
Thanks in advance much appreciated

I'd take it to service and have them read the fault codes and see what happened. Easiest way to figure out the issue unless you have an OBD reader, could download the fault codes using BimmerLink.
Too many variables and we could be guessing what the issue is.
Could easily be a misfire, bad gas, bad spark plugs especially if you're feeling some hesitation.
