I just took delivery of the car about 2 weeks ago and have not done anything funny with it.

Hope the problem is nothing major but really didn't expect a new car to break down in just 2 weeks.
hey friend,
there is one car in beijing i heard that it had the same problem as yours, first of all his 1.6t engine is very noisy like an old car with minimum 60K kilo.
sencond 3 weeks ago his car was shut down automatically on the high way and no way to restart again, now what i heard is BMW had found out the problem, the romanian made honeywell turbo charger is wrong ,they are going to substitute a new car for him, but i am really not sure if the turbo charger has anything to do with shut down. if turbo is wrong, engine should still work, but with very poor output only.
