I'm @ 30,000km now &
It's happened on my x6 3.5i once, between X'mas & nyr's, but restarted engine & drove fine (thought nothing more of it over the holidays) until today,
i.e. Engine suddenly ran rough & Cntl Message threw up EM-ReP, tried restarting & ran ok for less than 1km. three separate times.
Called for app't to have dealer do their song & dance tomorrow.
When I need normal maintenance I make an appt, when car breaks I drive (or tow) to the service dept right then.

let us know how this turns out.
