X5d loss of power uphill

Driving on the freeway at any speed great speed and take off power. Going up a grade on the freeway at 65 when someone pulled in front of me so I slowed down. After that it would not accelerate and eventually slowed down to ~55 mph. When the grade leveled off it could take off like normal.

Never had a diesel before and it really had no power going up the grade. Floored it and dropped it down in gears, nothing.

Anyone seen or heard of this?
