My 2007 did this once. Dealer got a fault for high battery drain, and said it caused the cut off. I chalked it up as an electrical glitch.

It hasn't happened since.

My Ride: 2008 535i Options: Sports Pkg/ Premium Pkg/ Navigation/ USB(iPod) Mods: Tint (lolololol) any ideas? I LOVE THIS CAR!!! (WAAAAAYYYYY better than my previous MB E350, but quite a bit more expensive :( )

Something similar to happened to me, although mine has some sort of explanation. I just installed my Juice Box and came back from a drive testing it out and what not, pushing the car, and I was stopped on my hill talking to my friends and they wanted to hear if the car sounded different so I prepared to givei t a lil power up the hill, took my foot off the brake and the car started rolling back and shut off!!! It almost seemed like the car stalled! I have a sport auto tranny...I was like WTF? NO ENGINE light or anything...strange but it didnt happen after as the car kinda waited on the hill for me to accelerate once the brake was released...
