Harbinger of things to come?
My previous EQS SUV regularly displayed warnings about the battery, suspension, and lights. Most cleared after a restart. The E53 has displayed very few errors and none have been particularly alarming like they were in the EQS.
Today was different. After starting the car and retrieving it from the garage, I noticed some odd behavior. The trunk would not open using the switch on the lid. The driver side rear door would not open even with the handle extended. The passenger seat memory positions could not be recalled. After driving a mile or so, the check engine light came on solid (not flashing). There were no stored messages in the Service screen. I restarted the car after reaching my destination five miles away and everything was back to normal.

As for the W214 E 53...
Could it be the 12V battery level being low or not as high as the electronics demand it for?
