I've got about 3000 miles on my 05 545 and have just experience the "slam" that has been discussed here on the forum. Fortunately, I had read up on it here, otherwise I would have sworn that I was rear-ended. Wasn't too hard, but startled me for sure.
I was waiting at a traffic light after coming to a slow stop in "D", not "DS". Upon starting through the intersection, accelerating lightly, it hit.
QUESTION:
Is there a definite cure for this via software at this time, or should I wait before going to the dealer? I'm not sure what SW version I've got, but I took delivery May 6, and the dealer upgraded the SW before turning over the car to me.
Otherwise the car has been a real joy. Thanks.

http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=12426 <---- Post 26 will show you which LEDs that you can run the risk of losing.
But here is the info for the slam anyways...

So you'll have to decide... if it occurs often enough I would go ahead and upgrade and hope for the best... if its not then maybe... just maybe hold up till the next release that fixes the LEDs too...
