2003 X5 stalled while driving at low speed

Well car has just about 233k. Engine is strong and I'm not ready to give up on her, but she stalled now 3 times while driving at low speed and it's scary. Braking is odd bc no vacuum. Need to stop and move to park and it restarts. 1st time it happened 8k miles ago, but it recently happened 100 miles ago, twice in about 2 minutes. Then the car ran for an hour no issues and I've parked it.

Here are some recent service things done. Swapped dead fuel pump with my other car which was a 2006 with 80k miles. I only swapped the pump, not the float and housing. At the same time I also put in new crankshaft sensor. After these two items, about 1k miles that is when the car first stalled at low speed. It didn't happen again for like 8k miles. Before it happened again, I recently changed both camshaft sensors, fuel filter and oil change. After this work, car stalled twice as I said.

No codes, no errors. Car starts right up. Could be in my head but I feel like the start up makes a little extra hesitation on the crank, just an extra second or so. Really don't know what to do now. Engine is strong, good compression. Hate to give up.
