Hi Swift,

This defi sounds like alternator, mine did that in Italy, eventually the battery will die when your on the move. It was kind of cool the way the car failed, it was a bit like a system shutdown, all the electrics failed in sequence, the smg was the last thing to go then it just rolled to a stop... fortunately within spitting distance of a BMW dealer, 500 euros and I had it back the same day

Ever had the problem but I replaced the alternator at 70k miles as preventative maintenance to hopefully avoid it.
