1-Sorry this is happening, it sucks but that is not the NORM for BMW as a whole
2-The girl who cuts my hair had this on her brand new Explorer. It sucks, it happens though. 3 times. Had to get towed everytime and the final time she was pregnant.
Long and short, they found a wire in the steering column was shorting out under completely fluke situations. They replaced the column harness, drove it 200 miles and it never happened again. She has had it over a year and never again.
I would be leaning toward a wire that got a screw through it during production or similar which can be like finding a needle in a haystack. I would insist that the shop foreman at your dealer log a couple hundred miles in it before you take it back.
3-I believe lemon law is 3-4 instances of the same claim without resolution. The key is the service advisor has to write the fault up the same manner as it was written up previous times.
4-Best of luck....
