As I pulled into my driveway 5 minutes later, the light like this (!) lights up in yellow on the dash and I take the groceries in. I read your post and saw some youtube videos so go back out to the X5. When I turned the key, the airbag and seatbelt light are gone but the (!) is still there and it says TRANSFAIL SAFE PROG...

God damn this is annoying!

So...did you still do the visor test as outlined in the videos? If not, then do it. You don't have to have all the symptoms present to do the test. If your ignition switch is failing...the visor test will usually be a catalyst to get the multiple gremlins to replicate themselves if indeed the ignition switch is failing.

Start the vehicle, then turn on as many things you can that requires the ignition to be on to operate...then reach up and pull down the passenger sun visor and then open the mirror cover. If things start turning off/on...or start moving (interior lights, steering wheel, radio, horn, seats, etc).
