BMW Assist dispatched a flat bed tow to my home where they picked up the vehicle. My SA contacted me to inform me that the vehicle had arrived, and later in the day I received a call from the Service Manager telling me that they would keep me posted on their progress. I have a good relationship with my SA, the Sales Manager and Dealer, and have had good experiences with their sales and service process in the past. I am hoping that this is a simple fix, as I did not hear back from them last night.

My greater concern is a repeat of this incident. I can only imagine what would have happened to a less experienced driver in similar circumstances. Will update once I get more information.
It is a scary thing to happen and has happened to me in a brand new accord and also my previous 335. I too wonder what would have happened if a less competent driver had been operating the vehicles.
Keep us posted on what was the cause. I have a 2011 x5d and have yet to have anything but positive experience with it
