Congrats on the new 35d.
Sounds like BMW NA, the delivery trucker and your dealer need to get their "unfavorable driver" reports; and quit driving those short trips
If I were a worrying man, I'd say the notorious E70 electrical/charging design/implementation flaw is still unresolved in the 2010 models. Your X5 was built nearly a month ago. I'll bet that it has too few miles on the ticker to keep your battery charged

p.s. I'd demand to have a copy of the "unfavorable driver" report, so that I could have it framed. After all, there probably aren't many X5 drivers that can prove that their X5 ratted on them after only 2 miles
