Started the car, drove approx 50 yards, engine died (like stalling, but obviously not being a steptronic), centre console died, power steering died, idrive still active.

Potentially quite dangerous.

Happened twice so far..

I'm about 4-6 weeks from dirst service so I will leave it until then to speak to the dealer.

I'd take it to the dealer immediately.. unless it doesn't bother you too much.

I'd have difficulties driving a car that could stall any given moment.
