Understanding the Problem

The issue centers around the degradation of the positive battery cable connector located in the fuse box. Over time, poor contact or corrosion can develop, leading to intermittent loss of power. This may cause the engine to shut down without warning, potentially while the vehicle is in motion.

When this occurs, drivers may experience a total loss of power steering and braking assistance, increasing the difficulty of safely maneuvering the vehicle. BMW notes that while this issue is rare, the consequences can be severe.
