The situation, which makes sense since my faults occurred under full acceleration and that would elicit this fault, has not been reproduced since they have had the car back in their possession.
So, most likely looks like I will be getting a replacement at some point, and this was the thought of BMW Service Manager with whom I spoke today.
So, looks like I am in my 328i loaner for the immediate future.

Well I have had a positive response from BMW today but if all these cars have the issue you are suffering from then I don't know what to do, I have been offered:-
1. Take mine back repaired (who knows when though) with 5 year service plus as a gesture. I normally sell the cars before 3 years and about 25k miles so although it looks nice on paper its worth about 1 £450 service to me.
2. Have a new replacement car but it must be an in stock car, this leaves me only the choice of white or black and both cars have extra options so they want me to cough up more for the extra options (that I don't want).
I asked if I could have a new car built to the same spec and was told no due to the UK 2.5% VAT change and 4 month build time.
At least I have options, so give me some opinions, what would you do, would you go for a different colour??
Forgot to say mine is monte carlo blue
