Anyone have their 35i die repeatedly on the same day?

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone else has experienced the problems my wife's 2011 X5 35i is having? (It has ~4K miles on it and is 8 months old)

Last week she was driving to work and multiple times when the engine was getting low in the RPM range, like when idling at a stop light, the car completely dies. Engine stalls, power steering locks up. She has to put the truck in park, restart the car, put it in drive and then drive off. I happened 5+ times in 2 hours, once while she was pulling into a parking lot leaving her stuck in on coming traffic. NOT COOL, especially if my son would have been in his car seat in the back and she had been hit...

She made it to our dealer, stalling as she pulled into the lot (nice touch ). They have had the car since Friday and have told us they have not been able to reproduce the problem (surprise...) but there are several error codes present upon interrogation which they did not expect given the problems we described. They have forwarded the problem on to the "BMW field service engineers" who think it is a "problem with the engine computer".

Any thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks
X
