That thing is a beauty. Congrats

I miss my ///M Roadster almost every day. I would just get scared when I had a Ford Expedition bearing down on me from behind.

Definetly an AWESOME CAR!

It is a small car - even a regular sedan looks pretty big in the rearview mirror It's all perspective though - I think people tailgate me as much in the X5 as in the Z4 - so I just try to not get worked up over it and accept it as a fact of life, no matter how big of a grille they got

It's almost a car that makes you want to live in the country. All those winding roads.

Seems that there was - last night the SES light came on - everything runs great, so doubt it is anything serious. Not like it should be vomiting parts after reaching 300 miles doing break-in driving

Anyone ever have something pop up that soon on their cars?

If the error does not reappear for 3 consecutive drives then the light will turn off, but no worries as the code will still be stored in the computer...

SES lights will stay on for a while, even if the problem is no longer occurring.

Either way, on a brand new car you should get it checked out...

Did the SES clear itself after you turned the car off and restarted it? If it cleared, you are probably fine. I had this happen one time with my X and it never happened again.

The only issue to watch is that the battery may be drained a little bit from sitting, this was the case with my 545.

I am hoping it is just the battery - but no - the light remains - tried letting it sit for a few hours last night, and then tried again this morning - it's still on. I need to go in to get the floormats anyways, so I figured they could atleast tell me what triggered it. If it is not serious, hopefully it can wait until the break-in inspection at 1200 miles.
