BMW has a stalling problem with their 2001 3.0 liter engines especialy in the X5 sport utility vehicle. Supposedly there is a modification to correct the problem (which our vehicle has had) but our vehicle still stalls. I know we are not the only owners who have made this complaint. Maybe a recall is in order!
