Dealer did say the fault wouldn't have been caught in the pre-delivery inspection as the car would need to do few miles before the fault would trigger.

Apparently it was a faulty sensor but they decided to replace the whole part (sorry technical people, I've forgotten what part it was) which then requires a system initialisation (ie total car reboot). But only BMW Germany can do the final reinitialisation so the car has been sitting there all day connected to a computer at the dealer which is connected to a computer in Germany waiting for a final reboot. After 8 hours - no reboot. Dealer swears blind it will happen overnight and I'll get my car back tomorrow.....

So 2 days without my new car

Only consolation is that they did loan me a Limited Edition M3 Coupe whilst they have my car.
