Dear e60 Forum for 7 series:
Not sure I am in the right place, but my brother the stock broker here in Atlanta GA and owns a 2002 745i, with 80,000 miles on it, (and out of warranty), and he is out of town in Tulsa Ok, at the moment and his 7 series broke down on him, and just stopped, and the idrive has a bunch of failure message's on it popping up, i.e., Transmission failure, engine failure, AC failure, etc, etc. The BMW in Tulsa BMW dealership is closed but he will get it towed to them tomorrow, meanwhile he wondered if any one of you here at the e60 forum for 7 series might know what his 2002 BMW 740i problem might be, and about how much will the expense should he brace hisself for the price tomorrow by BMW of Tulsa?
I will be waiting on your answer so I can relay it to him.
Thanks in Advance!!

my first guess - check the battery or alternator. If it dies it would pop up bunch of error messages and sure it will not start after all

as everyone already said...battery or alternator....off topic...do alot of ppl try to race you in your m5 rep? 
Oh yea I get a few idiots reving their engines, and wanting to race, (I ignore them), but I get more states and smiles from young ladies, that leads to us talking at the gas pumps, that often leads to dates.
