Say in the services off the m42 currently awaiting bmw assist. Was in the wife's e90 with 3 others (hence no z) and got a red battery symbol on the dash while on the m5. After about a minute, that changed to 3 other lights, abs, tpms and something else. Still no where to stop.
Motorway was then coming to a stop and suddenly, every light on in random order, wipers on with no control over them and then almost all electrical power gone and at a standstill.
Highways agency were behind us and were brilliant. Free recovery came out as if was just inside the roadworks and we were in the lorry on the way in about 15 minutes.
Called the AA and while awaiting them, called bmw. Reason for this is with the recall at the start of the year, they ran out of parts by the time my wife tried to get it done. She was advised she would be contacted but if any of the symptoms, like tonight, appear, then call them to arrange hire car etc.
Long story short, they are now coming out, AA cancelled and been told bmw will refund the cost of taxi to get us to our destination.
What a palaver but hopefully, it will all be sorted and the car will be delivered the 200 miles back to us once fixed. Now to sort out getting the 20 miles to the nec arena!
