Experiencing Jerking and Power Loss in My BMW 1

Hello everyone, I own a BMW 1 (2014, 117000 km) and recently encountered a concerning issue. While driving, my car started jerking as if it was in too high a gear. I downshifted, but the jerking continued. Shortly after, the drivetrain warning light appeared on the dashboard, then disappeared, and the jerking stopped. However, since this incident, the car feels like it has lost power. Has anyone experienced a similar issue or have any insights on what might be causing this? Any advice on how to resolve it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

It's possible that the issue could be related to a failing ignition coil or spark plug, which can cause misfires and lead to jerking and power loss. I recommend starting by checking the condition of your spark plugs and ignition coils. If they haven't been replaced recently, it might be worth doing so. If the problem persists after checking these components, it would be wise to have a professional diagnostic performed to identify any fault codes. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!
