I had a problem with my '02 3.0 X5 stalling a while back. It stuttered and grumbled upon restarting. The check engine light came on afterwards. It turned out to be a ban ignition coil. That was replaced and the problem stopped.

Well, twice in as many weeks, my X5 stalled during tight, slow speed left turns. Once was a u-turn and the other was to park in a spot. No check engine light afterwards. I know that this has been a topic much discussed in the past, particularly with the 3.0 versions of the X5. Time to go back to the dealer. Luckily I'm still under warranty.

From my research and recollection of past discussions on this issue, it could be one of the following things:

• MAF (mass air flow meter)
• Cam shaft position sensor
• DME (digital motor electronics) needs to be reprogrammed
• Loose vacuum hose
• Bad throttle body (remote chance of this)

I wanted to mention this problem and the possible causes because it has not been discussused that much here at X5world.

Let's see what is causing my stalling this time.
