I just bought my BMW 2014 428I and when I received it it was working flawlessly but after a day my car completely stuttered at a light and stalled and I was completely shocked it cranked right back up but I was still confused, but now it's worse than before now while I'm driving on the highway it just shuts off and puts itself in neutral, so while the car is still in motion I am forced to start it and shift it back into drive. When it first happened I was scared but now it happens so much that it has become second nature which I feel like I shouldn't have to become prone to this. I looked at the recall list and saw that on other 428I's the fuel pump and brake line is their issue but when I searched my VIN nothing popped up but as I just explained it is affecting my vehicle as well.
