weird X5 activity

so this is the second time this happened to me...
my driveway is on a high slope... in the morning i start the X to get to work. temperature is about 60F. it starts normally. rev it a bit, let it run for about a minute. than i shift into R and slowly back up the driveway. keeping my foot on the break and slowly backing up... than it starts to panic and shut off on its own. i put into P and start it right back up. weird. Could this have something to do with the trans safe? what could cause this? any help appreciated. thanks.

What do you mean when you say "Panic"? Does a christmas tree light up on your dash? Any lights, sounds? etc?

Does the motor stumble, hesitate, hiccup?

Let us know.

How much fuel is in the car when this happens? Strange really. Have you tried facing the car the other way?

I'm just curious, has the X ever stumbled when driving? Maybe erratic idle or throttle response when you mash the pedal to Wide open throttle?

How many miles are on your X again? It almost sounds like the X is stumbling on fuel. Maybe fuel filter is restricted? Not letting enough fuel in?

So its some kind of valve than? that closes up.
well i have 92,500 and i changed oil at 90,888 i used mobil 1 5w 30 syntetic. couldnt find castrol at the time. the mobil 1 seems to burn quickly and it got really dirty after 1000 miles. filter and everything was changed. so ill wait for 93500miles and do a full maintenance check and oil change.
