Hi,
This has occured a couple of time with different warnings. Battery not charging, iDrive stability error and major electrical error.

It pops up on the screen for a second or two then the error goes away. This has probably happend 5 times. No stored error codes not a single trace afterwards that it did happend. 5 times in the last year perhaps.

Anyone seen this and might know anything about it.

It feels like one day it will happen and the car just dies and wont start again and must certainly when I'm far from home.

Best Regards Redunder

Do you know the age of your battery? E60's do all sorts of funky things like this when the battery is wearing out.

The battery did I switch out 2 years ago and seems to have good power.

I'd still take a closer look at your battery performance. If you could readout the histogram, that would be very helpful.

Ok, have googled some to find information on how to read the histogram but im coming up short. What stuff do I need to perform this ?

Use INPA / ISTA software or buy a BMW Code Reader. I posted a battery sticky here.
