Seems as if i'm the newest recipient of the transfailsafe award. I believe moderator: Michelle was the last member to receive this award. On way home form out of state snowboarding trip, the battery light started flickering for a few minutes then stopped just about as fast as it appeared. Moments later the entire dashboard lit up with every possible warning light, including the ever-popular "transfailsafe". Just about every electronic function in the X became possessed. Fortunately for me, i was part of a caravan of friends returning to the city. I pulled over to power down and restart. No start, so a friend jumped my battery and she started...we didn't get very far till the X became sluggish. At this point i pulled her into a safe spot off the hwy and contacted BMW Assist for, well, an assist. Tow company will drop her off in the morning at Park BMW in Maywood NJ.
This seems to be a common problem and could be potentially dangerous while driving
