While driving my 2025 BMW X5 xDrive50e, a “Power Supply Malfunction – Stop Vehicle Immediately” warning appeared on the dashboard, advising me to pull over and call roadside assistance.

The issue has been confirmed and documented by Braman BMW. The component remains under BMW inspection.

Going 75mph, 16 degrees Fahrenheit out. Car temp was 68 degrees. Loud explosion, panoramic roof glass shattered. From direction of glass looks like it exploded from the inside. Did not hear anything hit car beforehand. Happened out of nowhere.
