Complete loss of electrical power while driving, usually from 30 to 70 mph, on a city street, country road and interstate highway. This has happened multiple times since buying the car second hand in July 2017 to the present January 2018. We will no longer drive the car since it is quite frightening to lose power while driving 70 mph on the highway in traffic. Also, several times there is no electrical power at all in the car after stopping the car and trying to restart it. The battery has been tested and is charged and working normally. There is a recall for the positive battery connection and cable to the terminal connection at the cabin fuse box which can wear out and fail for bmws starting in 2007 that cause the same problems. Our car has the same problem but why is it not included in the recall ?

Driver's airbag module recall replacement keeps getting postponed for a future date from BMW of henderson deal

- Las Vegas, NV, USA

Electrical recall: On several occasions we have purchased, and fixed the BMW regulator on our 2006 BMW 325I. As of late the passenger window on the right side has become jammed and stuck and started rolling down on its own. In addition, the driver and passenger side view mirrors have also incurred the same issue. Along with the passenger door that will no longer open, without have to manually unlock, and lock once exiting the vehicle. I am afraid something else with the electrical system will occur. Safety is everything, especially with a second baby on the way. So here we have a window that is not rolling up at all. I'm unsure if I showed allow more work to be done, due to the fear of having the same issue occur repeatedly. Thanks in advance ! I look forward to a response.

My car was parked for a brief time and then, just before I was about to start my car, I noticed smoke coming from the glove box and when I blew on it, a fireball came out and the whole car went up in flames. Just a few days before, I had problems with my air-conditioning and had prior electrical issues that I had checked out at a BMW repair shop.
