This has been a problem since the first week I got the car, the car malfunctions. I get multiple warning displays such as ECU FAILURE, IDRIVE FAILURE, HAND BRAKE FAILURE, DSC FAILURE, TRANSMISSION FAILURE and more I cannot think of. The car then trickles down as though its going to hibernate and lets me drive no faster than 10mph which has been a problem when this happens on the freeway. I am going to say this has happened 5 times now, even after repeated visits to the dealer. I have sent the car down to the dealer I bought it from now and they are inspecting it tomorrow. I'm fed up! I payed 80k for this car. I have spoken to my salesman and we've started talking about making the dealer buy the car back and ordering a new one. I asked him if I would claim it as a lemon and he said no because when they try to auction the car off as used the title must say why the dealer bought it back etc.

I know they are taking the best care of me, I have sent friends there who have bought cars and Im taking delivary of an M5 next week.

Im stuck in the mud...any suggestions?
