After a spate of weird electric problems (satnav intermittent, soft close door would not latch), car seemingly to run on only 4 cylinders with no acceleration, and a scan showing only half of the ECUs reporting to the system, it was dtermined that an IVM (Integrated Voltage Module) might fix the faults. 15 minute job to R&R and job done. All fixed after codes cleared and car runs better than it ever has. 
7000 mi The passenger rear door handle began responding intermittently to touch with the comfort access system. The dealer replaced the entire exterior handle.
