One problem related to equipment has been reported for the 2002 BMW 745. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My vehicle just shut of while I was driving this has happened a total of four times while driving and three times total while idle. Just recently when the vehicle shut off I almost got rear ended. The vehicle also would not start after it had shut itself off. I tried to start it but it wouldn't turn over. Then a message on the the display read "transmission drive fail safe malfunction only gears p,n,r, d3 and d5 can be engaged without pressing the parking brake. " and it also displayed something about battery discharged and will be disconnected soon. Then I was prompted to "recharge battery" after the message. After the vehicle had been sitting for almost an hour I started it. There weren't any messages in the display about malfunctions of any kind everything was cleared. I drove the vehicle home and turned it off and on about five times and it started fine. I also noticed that when I idle my car and I get out of the drivers seat or lift out of the seat and sit back down both times I can hear the fuel pump buzzing for about 1-2 seconds.
