hello everyone I hope you can help........
my x3 diesel 06 plate will randomly stall once or twice a week last time it happened I got the 4x4 light on,the car will restart with no problems at all ,and run fine .....I also get the e.m.l. flash on briefly when driving along the car will jump and then carry on as the light goes back out,this aswell only happens very rarely,the car runs fine otherwise......been to the dealer and there are no codes showing up.......ive changed cam sensor ,crank sensor,maf sensor,fuel filter,fuel pump,ignition switch.......any ideas its driving me nuts,,,

Could be the transfer case actuator. Search bmw x3 trifecta or triad warning lights. Might not be though.

When does it stall? Just after start, when engine is warm etc?

Hi and welcome to the forum
I've read several threads over on BMWLAND , when it was still on line regarding the X3' jumping and the 4x4 light coming on, most were due to mismatched tyres / rolling curcumferancs between the front and rear wheels when running the staggered wheel set up. The X3's are very sensitive to different tyre sizes if not Star marked tyres.
Have you got the same size / profile tyres on or the staggered setup?
