I was driving my new e60 (3000 miles) over the weekend to dinner through a canyon in LA and suddenly my car "died". On the info screen it said ingnition fault failure. Not only did it die, I lost power in the stearing and brakes also. On top of this, the car would not turn on and I has to get it towed!!! Has anybody had this problem , or heard any storys like this. 04 525i sport/premium  |

I had the exact same problem here in Hong Kong
E60 525i Sedan (2004)
Engine died - "Ignition Failure" on the display
needed to be towed and had to wait 5 days for a replacement parts from Germany (parts had to match my serial number for some reason)
Very scary. Brakes + steering lost power.
Car is back now but am noticing creaking / rattling noises from the doors / windows on periodic basis.
My patience is running out.
Anyone else have this problem?

Recently bought a new 2004 E60 530i. Stopped tonight and bought gas, made it about 20 miles down the road, and the car DIED! Message of "Ignition failure, may only be able to start vehicle with brakes depressed." The engine would turn over, but could not get it to start. Sounds like the exact same problem. The car was towed to the dealership tonight and I hope to find out something tomorrow.
