MINI is broken.....

After almost 4 years and 53k miles of reliable and loyal partnership, the MINI has just let me down for the first time tonight. Seems like an electronics related problem, basically I can't start the car. After all the lights behaved like crazy and losing function on all electronics, the alarm kept going off. As if it is thinking that someone broke into the car and trying to drive away. Luckily it happened in the parking lot at work, so it is somewhat safe and not too far away from a MINI dealership. I will troubleshoot it one more time tomorrow before towing it to the dealer.
Do auto makers really engineer their cars to start failing right after the warranty expires?
