: Sometimes when I am driving my 1987 325i the whole car shuts off and looses ALL power in the middle of the road. My mechanic has the car right now but it won't do it to him. It happens all the time. Especially when it is, or has, rained. I know all my grounds are good and my batt. cables are perfect. What else might it be? Has this happened to anyone? Please help me!!

Sounds like it may be a fuel delivery problem. Happened to me a while back an I fiddled with the fuel system relays located left side of engine compartment ( under black box, 3 relays,2 silver & 1 orange ) Switch silver relays, both the same or clean up with electrical cleaner an see if that helps. If not spring for new relays, check BMP Design for idea of cost.
