Complete BMW diagnostic done in October 2013, repairs done except brakes. While stopped at red light at northside dr. & 8th street(approx.) my X5 shut off & would not crank until 10 minutes later. Fire truck was on an emergency & my X5 blocked it's motion. Immediately took X5 to auto repair, rented a car & no problem diagnosed. 06/02/14, on my way to bible study, stopped at light, stuttered upon gas petal push to drive. Drove up hill & X5 shut off then dash light read stop! oil pressure, coasted to nearest lot. Oil added then drove for 5 more minutes, stopped for officer to direct school zone traffic, shut off again. Engine turns on but won't completely start. Police pushed me into nearest parking lot.
Oil separator problem with 2006 BMW X5, caused engine to shut down in the middle of the highway. I'm told that this is a problem when driving in cold weather and there is nothing I can do to fix it. $1500 repair and still no assurance it won't happen again.
