428 4-cyl

While driving on the highway during rain I went to pass a car and pushed the gas pedal and the car seemed to spin out a little and then the engine lost most of its power and started to sputter and gargle as if it was going to stall out. The warning for power train failure came on. Very dangerous on a freeway of speeds up to 60+. had to get over, exit the freeway and pull into a gas station. I figured I would let it sit and then try to start again and see what error codes came on. When I restarted the car all seemed back to normal. The very next day when pulling out on to a busy road, I pressed the gas and the car did the very same thing. I then googled the issue and it is a ongoing issue across several BMW models and years. I would recommend you google this drive train issue and see that this is something that needs to be investigated and resolved.
