This time on the freeway with my wife and mother-in-law in the car.
not a good time for "WTF was that?" moment.
Since the first time I replaced the groung wire between the block and the chassis, and thought all was well. But now I am thinking a rely is going bad "Ala LKM"

I believe there is also a ground from the engine to the chassis that was fubared on a few cars, they had all kinds of bad stories too.

We had a 3 series that would do this. ( Wonder why I got such a deal at the auction).
After kicking our techs butt's they declared it fixed and I took it on a road trip. At 5 in the morning it started doing this and I finally got off the freeway. An old local guy came up, asked what I was doing and told me a story about a peagot ( not mis-spelled, his pronounciation) doing this. He said the battery had plates loose and would short on bumps or turns.
I changed out the battery and it solved the problem.
