2013 328i Driving on the highway, the engine shutoff, no warning, no lights, no messages. It went into neutral and allowed me to coast to the shoulder. When I tried to start it, tranny shifted to park. No when I try to start it, I get 1 click and a message that say starter/ignition. I used my generic odb reader and it shows no codes. Battery is 11.7v. I tried to jump start, sounds like it is trying to turn for brief second, then same message. I can't find my Carly to check all modules more thoroughly, smoldering another one. Any suggestions to check in the meantime while I wait for the new code reader? I am thinking alternator, but should be able to jump start it still, correct?

If your alternator died, I would think you would still have some power from the battery. The fact that it went into neutral indicates that there was some power.
