Auto box jumps from drive to neutral

Hi all, had an issue today where put my foot down to pull away and the auto gearbox seemed to pop out of gear(from drive) and then lose all power, so slowly came to a stand still, car would then not start, would just tick over and over but not fire up, left it a few minutes then started no problem.
I have had similar and had to get injector 6 replaced(I believe), could this be another injector issue?

Single injector issue would not cause that, possible bad fuel pump would however as about a dozen other things could. You need to get a code scanner and pull the codes otherwise it's just a guessing game. Reccomend foxwell nt510 with BMW software (get off Amazon) or bimmergeeks protools with USB cable

Thanks for reply, I had the fuel filter replaced recently, this has just happened twice while driving home, it won't start straight away after this, but wait a minute or two and then it starts?????
