Hi Guys, finally joined X5world after owning my 01 4.4 for the past 5 years. I am quite active on e46toronto with my 330ci.

X5's been pretty good except for the past two months. I had the oil seperator freeze resulting in major oil leakage. Had all the gaskets replaced, new oil sperator and pcv valve done. Since everything was open, i changed all the plugs as well. Truck drove better then new when I got it back. THEN...

while driving straight line, it stalled. Restarted fine. Almost got hit. It did this 4x in one week (once Friday, Three Monday). The last two times, it had difficulty starting but eventually after 2-3 times it started and drove fine.

Battery was replaced two years ago as was the fuel filter. Dealer found no codes and the truck drove fine for the mechanic. They are suggesting it may be (in order): 1) DME or 2) Fuel Pump

I've cleaned the MAF sensor before bringing it to the dealer (after reading here). Any other thoughts...

Im seriously considering cutting my losses and trading it in.
