It doesn't happen everyday, but I have at least on three different occasions had to re-enter the time and date after starting the car in the morning.

Is that a known bug...? Any remedy?

Seems like some kind of battery problem to me.

Call your dealer. The battery of your car is probably near the end of it's lifespan... or, the battery isn't recharged enough.
A chat with your local dealer seems like your best option to me.

My Ride: 08 550 Carbon Sport Almost everything factory, but no sound upgrades.

Mine just retuned from dealer service with same problem and a few other hic-cups. They said they updated to 28.2.

But on trip today one of the hic-cups still with me. Will return to service when I get back home. Time has not reset since the the "fix" but I have not had it back long enough to know if that was fixed.

Stay tuned.

You mean a faulty battery? The car isn't even one year old, so I don't think the battery is near it's lifespan...
