Charging malfunction!

I was driving my 2008 135i today and out of no where I get a charging malfunction error on my idrive and my power steering cut out. I disconnected the battery for a couple hours to see if it was a fluke, but instantly threw the code again when I started the car. I plan on taking it to the dealer, but don't want to get reamed because I'm out of warranty. Has anyone else had this issue or something similar? Any help will be appreciated.

Is your drive belt still in place?

The alternator also could have failed.

This is not related to your battery cable.

Did you check the belt?

Ended up being the alternator belt which in turn drained the battery of all its charge.
