[Energy]

I'm affected but nothing wrong has happened to my battery or battery cable yet.

[Vulgate]

yup - the wait begins

on side note, Energy - are you running aftermarket IC? any recommendations?

[BEEB]

BMW is not alone. I'd my Mercedes ML430 engine stalled while driving at highway speed. Problem wasn't resolved before we traded the vehicle in.

And the E46 M3 SMG transmission would stall in the summer due to high temperature.

Now, crossing my fingers with my 335xi !

I guess, bimmer owners will just have to wait until a letter arrives from BMW Canada or a call from the dealer

Manufacturer: BMW of North America, LLC

SUMMARY:
BMW is recalling certain model year 2008-2012 1-Series coupes and convertibles manufactured December 2007 through July 2011; and 2007-2011 3-Series coupes and convertibles manufactured March 2007 through July 2011; 2007-2011 3-Series sedans manufactured March 2007 through October 2011; 2007-2011 3-Series sports wagons manufactured March 2007 through June 2011; and 2009-2011 Z4 vehicles manufactured March 2009 through June 2011. The connector for the positive battery cable connector and the corresponding terminal on the fuse box may degrade over time. Over time, the high current flow and heat from electrical resistance may lead to a breakage of the connection, and a loss of electrical power to the vehicle.

CONSEQUENCE:
If there is a loss of electrical power to the vehicle, the vehicle may unexpectedly stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

REMEDY:
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the positive battery cable connector and secure it with an improved method, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in March 2013. Owners may call BMW at 1-800-525-7417 or email BMW at CustomerRelations@bmwusa.com.

NOTES:
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
