Drivetrain Malfunction is a known issue, not fixable

Thank-you again for all writing in. My 650i GC has now been in 3 times for repair since I purchased it on April 22nd. A special centralized engineering team for BMW is involved since the dealer cannot identify what is causing cylinder 6 and cylinder 3 to misfire. The engineering team in charge of technical repair in the US issued this statement: BMW is aware of a known issue with the 650i where cylinders 6 and 3 will fail under certain circumstances, there is no known repair at this time and replacing parts will not impact the issue. For me, this issue only surfaces after long drives over 70mph. Has anyone else experienced this? From my understanding, nearly every 650 will have these two cylinders shut down during a long trip.
