There's a certain thin range of voltage that is bad for BMWs where the instrument cluster goes haywire, and that voltage is in the opposite of the Goldilocks Zone.
That is, instead of it being not too hot and not too cold, which would be a good thing for a Goldilocks Zone... the voltage is just a tad not low enough to cause the car not to start but just low enough to cause the instrument cluster to go haywire.
What would you call that thin sliver of a problematic zone?
The Beemer Triangle?

Are BMWs really that sticky wicket about voltage? Ask me why I don't want a BMW car.

"Death zone" is the first thing that comes to my mind if we need a zone-based term. In practice I'd be more likely to say "critical voltage" (treating the narrow range as a single voltage) or something like that.
Must be the Bear zone,
