    M10 loses power while driving, next morning starts?

    So This happened to me once before a week ago. I heard a loud pop, then hopped on the motorway and shifted up to 4th but felt like I downshifted; i.e. I lost power and all driving functions. However the radio and gauge cluster still stayed on. Wouldn't crank, had it towed home. Sat there overnight and replaced a fuse and wrapped an exposed sub power cable wire and it cranked. figured maybe something shorted out or something. Just happened again, same thing, but no loud pop (That I heard, but I listen to music loud so..) Tried to crank and with some gas I could almost get it to hold revs but it struggled and just wouldn't start. Come back next morning and drove it home. really stressful cause I cant find anything and it could happen whenever I drive. Any ideas? 1986 BMW 318i M10B18 5speed
