Bring it in to the dealer, be diplomatic and I would bet they will take care of it since you are so darn close to 50K. 
See this is why you make friends with your SA

That's why,imho, everyone should get an aftermarket extended warranty or set up a repair fund!! Warranties run from $2-3k but imagine if something happens out of warranty...tranny, idrive, a/c just to name a few means big $$. EIther get a warranty or put money aside on a monthly basis for the repair fund. My pdc just went out and it was gonna cost $500 to fix. Thankfully, i'm still under the 4/50 warranty, but I've already purchased an extended warranty.

I had some similar problems. Not the same but mine were worse. I had Active steering, Dynamic Drive, my screen would black out, car would sputter and die. Start it back up it's normal. But only after it sputters and dies. First I replaced the battery and was fine for a couple of months. It happened again so I brought it to the dealer and they did the software update. Still did the same, brung it back and they found out it was the alternator.

My Ride: 04 545i
Update:
I turned her in to the dealer today and of course she was performed perfectly. Luckily I had prints of the pics I took. I received a call from the service adviser later in the afternoon and he said that they are keeping her over night because they are waiting for parts to arrive. He also said that they would cover it.
I asked him what parts or system failed he said he did not know as the technician forgot to leave notes and he left for the day. Anyway hopefully I getter back tomorrow and get the details.
