Description of the problem	About a month ago, my 2008 bmw 3 series engine stalled while driving at speed 45 mph. I received no warning before the engine stalled. It was a miracle that i was able to move over a lane and get off the road before an impact from other vehicles. This occurs every time i drive the vehicle, multiple times and at various speeds. It's very dangerous because i receive no warning before it happens. The vehicle is always in motion when it happens and at various speeds, on highways, streets, anywhere while driving straight, turning and any other maneuvers.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
