It was scary actually, out of the blue the car gave me the warning and powered down. WTF, just powered down! How is that even safe?? I waited a minute and it powered up and drove fine. I thought it was a fluke, but the next day AGAIN, luckily this time in a parking lot.
I am bringing into service today but I am going to demand another vehicle, wouldn't you? I just don't feel comfortable in a car with less than 100 miles would do this.

Honestly not 100% sure what my options are. Sounds like with paperwork I could get another one.

I absolutely LOVE the car, so I definitely want another one, but I really do not want to keep this one. This is going to be my daily driver, and I cannot have that kind of anxiety that at any minute that could happen.

Am I the only one getting this issue with F90 gen? I see plenty of threads with past generations 5 series, but cannot find anyone having this issue with current model.

Thanks!

Had this issue, the "530" software update seems to have solved it. Should have been done at the port! My dealer did his best, quickly, maybe he should have caught it prior to delivery, dk. An inconvenience and all's well now and he 'owes' me, LOL

I hope they have taken care of the issue's you have had with your new M5! It is such a great looking car! Nice!

UPDATE: 20 days and 850 miles AFTER update (950 miles total) and still perfect with ZERO issues. Driving really nice. Easily my favorite BMW after owning 12 now.
Also important to NOTE:
I am driving it a little harder than I probably should, so you could say I am putting the software update "to the test"...LOL.

I just saw another thread on new gen. Hopefully not many other F90's are doing this.[/QUOTE]

I got the drivetrain malfunction light couple of months ago and it was a bad fuel injector. I got the light today again gona take it to service. Pretty sure it has something to do with bad spark plug or a fuel injector. My car is a 22 m5 comp lci got about 15k miles.

To Op,

So you have a 2023? Did you order it special or just purchase it off the lot?
