There is no such thing as a glitch in these high precision automobiles. There was a reason that message came on and it would be stored as an error code on the on-board computer, not necessarily the iDrive that you would access. Ask him to check the fault codes on the vehicle - it would explain everything.
I can't believe BMW employs folks who openly admit to "glitches" in their vehicles...

I called the Service Manager on Friday and gave him a little more of my mind (I now have none left and am moving into debt). It goes in on Tuesday to be checked. Stay tuned.
Nasty story about the Volvo from Andy535xi. I had a number of them in the 70's and 80's. They had a collection of problems but I always felt they were safe. Andy, glad you managed to get out of it safely.
Cheers

Quick update.
I left the car with the dealer for a few days while I was travelling. They said that a brake sensor had broken and had tirggered the event. So it wasn't a "glitch". Thanks for giving me a little push to go back to the dealer on this.
