Drivetrain: Vehicle Cannot Be Restarted / Regenerative Braking Not Available

Okay, so I had the following error tonight while on the highway. Fortunately, I made it home, restarted the vehicle and it cleared the code out. Still alarming though.
One very annoying thing (at least to me), is that when I called the BMW Concierge and requested a diagnostic to be run, they told me that the technicians had left for the day.
I guess they assume that BMWs only break during business hours.......

I think they will have to replace ECM or something like that .They may attempt to reflash the software too . Sorry to hear about that mishap

I never got a detailed explanation on the cause of this problem. However, it appears to have been solved with a wiring harness. That's all I know.
