I got the error again in the middle of Manhattan, after driving all the way from Boston. Luckily there was open space on the right side of the road for me to restart the car.
I wrote a letter to BMW NA and they got back to me promptly with a voicemail. I called the NA rep 4 times over the next two weeks to see what the next steps were and they never called me back. I was very disappointed in how they handled it.
I did not feel like taking the car in several more times only to have the dealership say that they can't find anything wrong with it over and over again. I eventually traded in the 535 for a CPO 335i that was practically brand new (estoril blue with the M Performance Kit already installed). I really liked the interior of the 5 series, but lost all confidence in the reliability of the model. We'll see how the 3 series turns out.
