You know what this means, right? This means you need to take the X5 up to Whistler for 2+ weeks and ski your ass off and not worry about your 550. 
Kidding aside, I hope everything works out for you K. That sucks man, but I'm sure your beast will be back to normal in no time. I wonder if one of the cylinders is misfiring???

It's always reassuring when the dealership isn't sure what happened and have resorted to guessing while working on your $94,000 car. 
I hope they get you fixed up asap with the least hassle possible.

wow... hope your car will be fine!! Don't worry too much about those other drivers honking at you... safety comes first, and trying to drive fast will be kind of scary based on the symptoms of your car...
hmm... i am also in BC, so hearing about vancouverites being impatient is quite surprising... haha... i think they need some coffee too... haha

Sounds quite technical and very involved. It's always reassuring when the dealership isn't sure what happened and have resorted to guessing while working on your $94,000 car. I hope they get you fixed up asap with the least hassle possible.
