THE CAR LOSS POWER AND SHUTDOWN WITH ME TWICE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. (95 NORTH)ERROR MESSAGES "ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MALFUNCTION CONTINUE DRIVING IS NOT POSSIBLE. HAVE THE SYSTEM CHECKED BY THE NEAREST BMW CENTER", "TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION"," RESTRAINT SYSTEM MALFUNCTION", "FAULT IN PASSENGER-RESTRAINT SYSTEM" THE SECOND TIME THAT HAPPENED TO ME , I HAD THE CAR TOWED BY AAA AT 5AM AFTER WORK. THE CAR PARKING BRAKE WAS LUCK , SO AAA HAD TO DRAG THE INTO THE FLAT BED, THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE BMW MAKES A LOT OF MONEY THEREFORE SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND FIX THE ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GET KILL. THE CAUSE IS WATER GETTING INTO THE TRUNK AND SOCKING ALL THE ELECTRICAL WIRES IN THE TRUCK OF THE CAR CAUSING EVERYTHING TO GO CRAZY. BMW IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE.
