    Default Strange starting problem

    Hi guys,
    My 1995 540i/6 starts fine most of the time. When I thrash it hard on the mountain roads (I live by Yellowstone), then shut it off, sometimes it won't restart. Turn the key, get dim dash lights and no starter action. It is almost as if the battery voltage is too low to spin the starter. It has a brand new battery in it that tests good. If I wait 10 to 20 minutes, it starts right up! If I DON'T thrash it, it starts fine!? What the!?!?!?!? Any and all input will be appreciated! Thanks!
