With the engine under load at 60/70 mph with no warning I lost all power!
It was dark at the time but remember looking in my mirror to a cloud of steem!engine died and I pulled over.
All water had gone from header tank and top hose to rad, water in the oil and when being loaded onto the truck oil dripping out aswell.

Reading a few posts on here I'm guessing at a water pump sudden break up resulting in a blown head gasket on 1/2 heads?
Hoping the oil is seaping out of gasket/dip stick tube!

(she is a 2003 4.6is with 48000 miles and full bmw history)

Has anyone out there had a similar experience that could pass on some possible causes?

Could it have been a sudden blown gasket or something worse?

Its being towed to BMW for inspection as they may pay some or all of the claim under goodwill due to low mileage!

Any help or info on the matter would be great.

Thank you
