Well, you may be right, that "No car on the planet lasts 215k with no part failures." As a user, I consider it a failure when the failure evidently presents itself and the car is either...

Couldn't agree more. Happened to me recently in the E70 3.0si, the starter fail3d totally at the most unexpected and inappropriate timing. So better have it repaired or replaced asap.

Active steering fault....
So lately, the E70 ('07 3.0si) throws the active steering fault error, only after having driven it for a bit everyday.

For the avoidance of doubt, is it the E70 35i 2013 (like the very late e70 models) or the F15?

Smell of fuel/gas in air-conditioning?
So it's a 07 E70 3.0si. When it's been idling for a while, there is a gas or fuel like smell in the aircon. I live in a hot country so aircon is a must daily.
When engine is switched off, then on...

So after the M/C was replaced, the x5 brakes well, but it looks like after the engine has heated up, like driving 20 minutes, the brake pedal softens again, much as the car still stops.
Could this...
