Do a search on the final stage resistor. Here's a DIY link:

I had to replace three on my old 540 and they just replaced on in my x5 right before delivery to me last week. This is a very common problem and is pretty easy to do it yourself.

bmwe53fan has your problem pegged - the symptoms are related to the final stage resistor failure.
