2025: “On March 23, after driving approx 2 miles, I was at a red light. The light turned green and I began accelerating. There was a loud bang from under the car toward the rear, the car abruptly halted, the displays turned red with a message (all caps) DO NOT DRIVE. I power cycled the car a few times and the error cleared, but my state-of-charge had dropped from 77 to 59%. I drove the car the 1 mile home and called BMW Roadside Assistance. …”
