Problem overview

Some BMW 650i owners report experiencing sudden engine stalling accompanied by an orange emissions light, rendering the vehicle unable to restart. This issue may stem from problems within the fuel system, air intake system, or ignition system. Additionally, faulty sensors, bad actuators, clogged components, or vacuum leaks can trigger warning lights and reduce power. Common culprits for unexpected stalling include issues with the idle control valve, vacuum leaks, and fuel delivery problems. Owners facing electrical issues are advised to check battery connections, replace blown fuses, and inspect wiring, and they may need to consult a professional BMW mechanic for further assistance. Addressing these potential causes promptly is crucial to effectively diagnose and resolve the issue.
