BMW 428I shut off while driving on a busy freeway. I was barely able to glide to the side. Unable to re-start with the vehicle partially blocking the slow lane. After few minutes it started again

The contact owns a 2015 BMW 428I. While driving over 70 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled without warning in the middle lane. While the vehicle was coasting to the side of road, it drastically decelerated and lost power, which made it extremely difficult to maneuver. As a result, the contact crashed into a ditch. The air bags deployed on the driver's side. The driver experienced whiplash, cuts, and bruises to the arms, which required medical attention. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. A police report was filed. The insurance company was notified of the crash. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 15V189000 (fuel system, gasoline). The manufacturer was notified of the crash and the contact was waiting on a response to determine if there would be an investigation. The failure mileage was not available.

While playing music the bluetooth will randomly disconnect or play the wrong song on iphone 8, if connected through usb it will cut in and out as if it connecting and disconnecting. The windows when rolled up and or down will make a squeaking noise. I have video proof but file type and size arent compatable

I smelled a funny smell, and then the entire dash went black. A "engine malfunction" warning came on. I stopped right away, got out of the car just as it burst into flames. The entire incident happened in a matter of seconds.
