Ignition lights come on when driving speedo drops traction control turns off then engine drops then stops
Hi sounds like the same problem I had crankshaft sensor my battery light came on and the engine would cut out sometimes would start straight away other times took 5mins to start again.
But would get a garage to check fault codes costs about 40pound but could save you 100's as it may be a faulty alternator/battery.

hello , it sounds like you have a bad speed sensor or all 4 of them , see when the speedo plays dead like that is because (most cases ) the sensors at the wheels are bad due to water and normal driving corrosion , the data for the speedo comes from the abs module that monitors the sensors if the abs does not reed it the speedo will not reed it aswell , it will be good to scan the vehicle to see if you need more than 1 sensor there is one in each tire axel ,good luck

Testimonial: "thanks how much is an abs module cost and is it necessary to fix right away"

this is to do with the sensor leads on the brakes, cost around £40.00 each from main dealer, mines the same. Bmw fixed the problem by changing one lead and charged me a fortune, then the other lead decided to play up, so best to replace them all.
SOURCE: where is the abs speed sensor on a 5 series bmw?
You have 4 wheel speed sensors. There is one at each wheel located just behind the hub. You can trace it by loacting the black insulated wire leading out from the wheel well and going behind the wheel.
