Engine died and came back while driving...
was driving back from work today...doing about 30mph in traffic and all of a sudden the power died, steering was going to the off position...a few seconds later it came back on. Car drove fine home (prob another 10 miles or so) but everything was reset. Got home, shut it off, restart and all is fine. Anyone ever had this happen? any thoughts? recently installed new alternator. Could the battery be dying? we dont want to spend too much, as we are trading this in for the x5d in 5 weeks. Thanks franklin

Well, hopefully it was a one time fluke and doesn't happen again before you trade it in... but if it does happen again hopefully it throws the SES light to give you something to go on. It can be hard to track down sporadic faults like that...

Also thinking about it...recently, the ac started acting up on trips longer than 1 hour. FSR was replaced maybe 15-20k miles ago...could it go bad again? could it cause this issue too? dont have any issues with battery draining though...

I don't know that I could stop driving the 4.6is for that long... it will be different of course when you have the torque of the diesel. I didn't drive mine for about a month before my neck surgery, when I got back behind the wheel and hit the gas for the first time I actually hurt my neck a bit!
WAIT, THAT'S IT!!! I FINALLY FOUND THE CAUSE OF MY NECK PAIN! Maybe the 4.6is was too much for my discs to handle! (I guess that means I can never have the M///)
