Description of the problem	This car has some serious electrical defects. It's left me stranded at least 4 times just dying. Once when it was 14 below zero. The car will just die when it's driving. Each time bmw has a different reason for the electrical failures but i believe there is an underlying design defect that is very dangerous leaving people in a car without power no matter where they are, even in the middle of a busy highway. Once the car dies, it has this big exclamation point in the instrument controls inside a triangle and it will not move. It's very hard to even get it off to the side of the road in order to get out of traffic. This is a very dangerous situation. There has already been one recall on the electrical system of the car, but i think it did not correct the design defects. I have now given the car back to the dealer as i did not feel safe driving it. It left me stranded too many times.
