I didn't ask many questions; I was just grateful to get my car fixed so quickly. I assumed it just wasn't delivering the needed pressure on demand - just as once happened in my old 300ZX. It certainly felt like that. Normal operation until it needs a lot more gas. In the 300ZX, nothing happened - less than normal acceleration but also no shutdown; in the BMW it went into low power mode with painfully limited acceleration.

My x6 was produced in early May 2008. You should check the forums for other BMW models using the same engine for more info - I recall seeing something on it there a while back.
