Took Delivery of xDrive40e last weekend

On the ride home from taking delivery of the new SAV, I received a RECHARGING MALFUNCTION. Returned the car after 5 hours because the cars battery died and it went into a safety mode where the alarm sounds and then stops, only to start again.

Car is at the dealer and a Corporate tech comes to troubleshoot after they installed a new car battery. Test drive the car again and they receive a High-voltage charging error. They want to keep the car for another 2 days to decide if this is an individual car issue or a larger issue.

I guess if they can't sort this one out, then I will need another car (plus money in the glovebox) built to my specs.

Still want a working 40e. Driving a diesel loaner and it is a base car. I like the torque, but it doesn't feel like a high-tech new toy.
