I too have a feeling that this is a Fuel issue. Next time this happens press the BMW Assist button so that it sends a diagnostic capture of your X3 to your respective service department.

Hopefully this will give them some more info since they cannot replicate it.
As I mentioned originally, they *are* able to replicate, they just can't explain it, or fix it.

I do have the N55.

I'm currently buying my fuel from Shell, using their Premium grade which is 91 octane here in Quebec. I used the same station for several years before with my 2008 Cooper S which never had any trouble.
