Couple of problems I'm having with my06 530i

- Every so often when I shut the car off..my screen stays on. I try to restart and shut down again but no change. So I go into the menu and manually turn the screen off...otherwise my battery will take a hit with the screen staying on while I'm at work...(This has only happened 4 or 5 times...when I come back out to start and drive off...we are back to normal...WTF?)

- New problem; yesterday I come out of work to leave (car drove in fine and sat in the sun on a hot day) , start the car and the yellow break light stay on and the yellow circle with triangle stays on...these will not go off. When I search the menu to determine what they are it tell me a malfuntion of the "stability control and the hill holder" --and yes neither are working now. Also my lights (brk lights and parking lights will not shut off automatically)

- In addition, while driving (I do not have active steering) the steering will go from a normal power assist feel to a feeling best described as not assisted. This will occur every so often and obviously I can only tell when turning. (As I am not sure when this will happen ..I have to drive easier or my steering will tighten up un expectedly).
- One more thing...my turn signals are suddenly not cancelling ...again WTF?

Obviously I'm trying to get the car to the dealer ..but I thought I would post the situation to see if anyone else has experineced these symptom, and hear related solutions.

Best regards

BTW...you cannot believe how much better the car drives with all the stability controls working....night and day.
