After being transferred twice, a supervisor finally over-ride, and supposely a tow truck is on its way (while I'm sitting here on a curbside literally in tears).

Barely 500 miles on this brand new baby. What on earth is going on with BMW?
I had the same issue. It was cured with a software update. Have not had the problem again. I am sure they will be able to resolve it for you without too much difficulty.
