my x5 just went dead today, first the SES light was on, so i went to check the code, it saids the oxygen sensor needs to replace, then got home, turned off the engine, after 5 mins, cannot start the car, it starts, then stall, start, then stall, and i think the RPM is not holding,
if anyone knows whats wrong with my x5, please let me know!!!
RIGHT NOW, i cant get it start again.!!

Which oxygen sensor is it?

its the 02 sensor i think, both left and right, it brings up 2codes, i guess one for left, and one for the right.
pls help
if this continue, i have to bring it in to a shop to check it,
last night, i can start the car and pump the rpm to 2000 for about 15 secs, then it can idle, and drives fine.
