Was headed home from Charleston yesterday on I-26 and just above Columbia we hit crawling traffic due to an accident. Temp outside was 105, had the air blowing hard, a pregnant wife, and two Weimars in the X. As we were creeping the X stalls. Throw on the hazards, pull off to the side, put in Park and recrank. Everything starts up fine - temp gauge is OK and I know I have plenty of gas. I look in the rearview mirror and noticed a black E53 had pulled over behind us and as I merged back into traffic, so did they, so I know they were pulling over bc we had. We ended up stalling once again - cranked it back up and got off the next exit to let it cool down some because that's all I could think could be the issue - heat plus stop-and-go. Once we got going again we were still in the traffic, stalled one more time, put finally got past the accident and never had another issue for the next 2+ hours. Never got a SES light except the usual one when the ignition is on but the car is not running. I am still going to check it for codes this evening.
Anyway, wanted to thank that fellow X5'er for pulling over to help!!
