Happened to my 2010 3.5 X6 something similar, the car stalls when making 90 degree turn from stand still. Took to the dealer, they say it is due to poor gas quality. Not sure this is the case...

Conditions noted are:
Just switched it off sports mode
Slow speed turn - mine happened as I made a 90deg right turn into the side street at approx 15mph
Engine stalls
Loss of power steering
Feels as if the shock absorbers started to sag
Managed to restart the car
Lots of clicking noises that seem to come from the axles/diffs
Continued driving home cautiously
Clicking noises gradually reduced to none
Has not happened since - about 2 months ago (2500miles)[/QUOTE]
