Reply to Terrifying Moment

I also had an almost exact experience also on the freeway. Only I was driving home from having had my 2013 Z5 35d drive serviced. The Crank Shaft Pulley was replaced as well as 2 belts. Mind you I live 3.5 hours away from the dealership who did the work. I was 30 miles from home and I went to turn on my AC and all hell broke loose. Terrifying none the less. The dealership did take my vehicle back and perform additional services for free but I have lost significant power. If I let off on the accelerator my vehicle used to coast freely, but now there is a significant slowing of my vehicle almost as though there is an engine brake engaging or a limiter. Does anyone know what is causing this? I am reluctant to have any additional work done by the same BMW dealership as I no longer trust their technicians to do the work adequately.
