I thought that either it was a spark plug or similar issue or it was related with fuel system.

I ended up taking the car to a dealer, and they checked the car for 2 days. At the end they told me that they couldnt figure out the reason of this problem. However they told me that driving a z4 with less than 1/4 tank of gas sometimes cause this kind of electrical issues. Now I try to keep the tank full most of the time and I havent experienced a similar issue.

Idk if your question was related with something like this but heres my 2 cents..

You are driving the "iS" version? If so that would make the the first one to report failure...
