X6 M50d electrical failure

Hi all,
I wrote a long rant and lost it so I'll keep this brief!!
Car is 2019. 6000 miles.
Had it recovered by bmw emergency to local bmw Irvine (in Scotland).
It had died 3 times.
Digital dash/ and idrive and engine.
They were hopeless.
Can't find anything wrong or any codes.
Just basically took it for a 60mph burn around town and added some miles and said I had to have it back.
2 weeks later.
Did it yesterday whilst wife was parking in shopping centre. I saw it from passenger seat.
And to me today.
Warning lights then death of engine and displays. And again when I got home.
I managed to take photos.....
Just gutted really. Never had any issues like this before in any car, and this is the most I've ever spent on a car.
That's disregarding the Bluetooth that kicks us off every 5 minutes.
Just hoping anybody may have an idea....
Cheers
Nick

Just bring it back to the dealership and let them deal with it, with only 7000 miles something is definitely not right.

Thanks for the reply.
This is what my wife is saying. But their angle of "cannot recreate the fault" so cant't fix it or find anything wrong was all they had.
I want to tell them to keep it til they fix it, but it seems to fall on deaf ears.
"we've checked it and found nothing wrong"
The BMW emergency chap said it needed an EGR recall, but the garage said "no that's only if customer smells fumes in the cabin"
BMW expert was due at ,my house at 1630pm, its 5pm now (UK) and nobody!!

Give me strength!

Keep your phone close and record the video, that's what I did when my dealer told me they can't find the rattle in the steering wheel. Made like 10 videos, uploaded to youtube ane e-mailed links to SA, told them I am not picking it up until the problem on the video solved.

Don't be fooled by BMW saying that you need to feel fumes in the cabin. I also have M50d and first dealer told me to go away, even though coolant was disappearing. They said there must be some leak and they replace EGR only when you feel fumes in the cabin. 2nd dealer replaced EGR with no complaints. They've used some tool that was screwed on coolant tank and measuring drop in pressure over time.

My car was already loosing a lot of coolant fluid. Next step would be engine/car on fire

I regret not recording the call with 1st dealer. I'd definitely make use of it.
