Description of the problem	The vehicle is a 2011 bmw 1m coupe. While passing another vehicle on a rural 2 lane country road outside of houston, tx, engine completely lost power in the middle of the pass, almost causing what would have been a major accident. It took almost two hours for a tow truck to pickup the car and temperatures were in the mid 90's with heat index of over 100 degrees, and i had no water or access to water or shade resulting in a very dangerous situation. The preliminary indication from the dealership is that this was a failure of the charge pipe, and this is the third time this component has failed in less than 32k miles. This is an ongoing issue and failure suffered by most if not all owners of this particular model, and is most likely to occur during periods of hard acceleration, such as when passing another vehicle, and as such result in a potentially dangerous situation for the driver and other vehicles.
