For two days in a row, my BMW 325xi lost power and stalled after driving it about 50 yards. Once it stalled, the EML, battery, and oil lights came on. I put the car in park, turned the iginiton to the off position, and turned it back on. There weren't any issues starting. It ran fine and accelerated like normal right after. I have noticed that leaving the car over night, it can have a bit of a struggle firing up. It almost feels like it either doesn't have enough fuel or it's grasping for some air. Any suggestions?

    Possible cam or crank sensor, afm or as you said yourself, low on fuel?

    Have the car checked by your local mechanic, which can be located in the "find a shop" tab above.
