Damn Ric, that sucks.
Was the fuel pump damaged?

No problems with the fuel pump, it was not on for more than a minute or so.
At least they did not change it at the service.

So I got my car back today. They filled up the tank (44 l) with artic diesel and the car runs now just fine.
The diesel fuel I had in the tank was only good for -13 C, now it's good for -32C (and F).

The car also got a new SW, the ISTA/P I don't know, but after a 20 mile test drive today, the auto gearbox
did not change neatly driving in slow traffic - a new problem?
Maybe it will "learn" to my driving in a while...
Otherwise no change in the iDrive.

The normal first service was made with new oil- and mircofilters.
I also had the brake fluids changed, since the car will be two years old next February.

Enigne oil is now Mobil 1 M-I (?) 5W30 and they also added 0,2 liters (half a cup) of coolant fluid.
Also the headlights where re-adjusted do to the lowering of the car I made last summer.

After driving a '09 M-B E and a X1 these 3 days, I must say: The E60 is a very, very nice and good car!
