Seems like an issue that BMW knows about, so I'm hopeful they will take care of her car quickly, and also take care of the broader issue asap!!
Update... our new 550i with under 400 miles on it remains at the dealership. The service manager yesterday basically said BMW does not understand the issue, but they feel it is a fuel vapor-lock situation. It feels like we're heading toward another N54 HPFP type scenario...
