Took delivery of a 525 in late November, by now I'm close to know all possible warning messages, "overheated engine", "Anti-trap function not working", "Flat Tire", "Increased Emissions" are part of my BMW driving experience. The car has been at the BMW service shop 3 times and they do not find the problem. So far they only have changed the battery. The car is not for the second week seating at BMW. I have driven the car more to the shop than to home. 
Does somebody has a contact at BMW that I can touch base with before working with my lawyer on haviong the car declared a lemon?

software downloads everything seems to be ok now, though sometimes the CD just won't start palying the first time I insert the CD and the driver seat makes a strange noise every time I turn right 
This is becoming really annoying, this is my third BMW and I had never seen this lack of reliability <_<

My error messages so far : "Brake Pads need changing" + "Tyre Puncture"
Not encountered any heating probs but it is winter over here in UK - and I've done nearly 3000 miles so far on my 525
Ps. Does anyone know how to turn off the seatbelt warning system ?

They have reprogrammed the computer but they blame things going on with the battery draining power, although they don't find why the battery is draining. I do not have run-flats. Anyone with a contact in BMWNA? I tried yesterday through owners circle.
About the overheating message, although it was displayed on the I-drive, th engine wasn't hot at all!
