video just helped me confirm its a bad regulator. thanks man. i have an auto and same thing happened. no gas pedal or anything. was overcharging to 18 volts.
@@zirzarzoon mine is doing this as well and then I lose power and the car dies, still a voltage regulator or just an alternator in general? because the battery I just put it in a day ago.
@@Gu3ssWhoki113dU1 it's been a couple of years and I don't recall mine shutting off. If you do a Google search for the e90 hidden menus you can monitor your voltage. If it's under 14, replace the alternator, over 14 replace the voltage regulator
think i have the same issue on my 03 745li. No wipers, no sunroof, no speedometer, dash warnings come on and go off but car still drives fine. Goes into trans failsafe but after restart , transmissions functions correct. also voltage ready 15.5 when revving
Did the car just turn off while you were driving? Because same thing happened to me while i was driving to the highway, got my battery recharged because it was dead and thought it was the problem but it keeps draining fast.
Alright thanks this is probably what’s wrong with my car cause it does everything in the video including the transmission malfunction hopefully I get it fixed tomorrow thanks for the help
@@kennethlanier3604 I changed it and it got a little better but didn't fix the issue completely, so I ended up replacing the whole alternator from ebay and now is good.
@@courtneypratt2066 You can buy just the voltage regulator and swap it out without removing the alternator in less than 30min if you have an n54 engne, saves a lot of money
thanks for the video man! my car just did the exact same thing but literally same... i already ordered the regulator hope it will fix it

@@zirzarzoon ok, what did u so after u had no gas pedal no more?
@@Gu3ssWhoki113dU1 I was overcharging to 18 volts and had to replace the voltage regulator
Same exact thing in my E90. Push clutch in and speedo starts working. Got 18.6 volts.

Voltage regulator try it before alternator
@@ItsTheShowHere even in a water cooled alt? I believe that's what mine has
Same that happened to me today and I just bought the new alternator

Alternator
Nice xmas tree
My car has been doing this ever since I bought it, but goes away once the car warms up, but cold start it the next morning and it does this
So it’s either voltage regulator or alternator not a transfer case😅
I have 4x4 and the display off... I have 19 volts 😢
hi guys, i have the same problem, could it be because of the alternator? and the transmission also appears, but it looks like this car in the video??
my car was started i went to the battery and then i removed the plus and then the engine stopped
Replace the voltage regulator on the back of the alternator. It is behind the plastic cover piece on the back. $50
Same exact thing happened to me.
the car just dies ? as you push the clutch in ?
My e60 same problem
I replaced mines and now it’s still dead
If you have no lights or response to key, the CAS module is fried. If it still does this the JBE module is fried.
@@zirzarzoon I just had it sitting too long it started up after I commented. I needed to charge my battery more
Does this also give transmission malfunctions?
Yes but only along with the other issues. Will not give just a transmission malfunction

@@vinnys3781what was the problem currently happening to mine with also transmissions light on
I have the same issue, did you figure it out?
Voltage regulator. It’s a sensor piece that attaches to the back of the alternator. Behind the back black cover of the alternator.

What was the problem?
Voltage regulator was overcharging the system
Daniel Talanga ok im having the same issue.

Daniel Talanga I do have the 335i. I bought a second alternator and it does the same. I’m guessing I got a bad one 🤦♂️
@@courtneypratt2066 do you ever fix ??
