Hi my BMW engine has a problem. When I'm driving it just die all of a sudden. It starts right away though. Then the other problem is sometimes when it die the ASC light and the transmission faulty light comes on. Then the car will not start for about 10 minutes. What do you think it is? Please let me know. Thank you

The problem could be caused by numerous problems and one of the most common is a poor or damaged electrical contact. The alternator charge and battery needs to be tested first to ensure they are functioning correctly as they feed all the electrical components. The cutting out could be caused due to a poor electrical contact or faulty TDC sensor. You need to get the vehicle to a reputable auto electrician so they can scan the computer and carry out diagnosis according to the fault codes.

Hi could you please tell me what is the best place that has a reasonable price to get this kind of a thing done?. Thank you.
