    Well, it was the fuel pump.
    Had it towed and local shop do pump and filter with genuine parts (they are a reputable German vehicle shop) for the price of $1100. I paid half to help my son and his new wife out.

    Oli, from my experience the fuel pumps tend to go out around 120k or so. This happened to me in my M3 when I was on the Garden State Parkway. Needless to say, it ended up being a very expensive day since the only towing you have available is contract towing where you can not use your insurance or AAA towing.

    The only symptom of a failing fuel pump I know is the engine won't turn over at first when starting and takes a few tries before it starts. Eventually leading to the pump giving out and the engine quitting due to fuel starvation. Fortunately it is easy to replace the fuel pump on these cars (you can do this as a DIY)

    You are right, I could have saved money and done this myself, looks really simple.

    My laziness, busyness, ongoing weekend events (redoing an office in the house floor, walls, electricity, etc...), along with my son's lack of transportation and his frustration made me pull the trigger on using a solid reputable shop.

    I remember reading about those pumps letting go very suddenly around 120 K miles, but honestly forgot about it.

    Hopefully, car goes on for another 100K with this pump.

    I have been slacking, my E93 has 74K on it and I just now purchased the BMW spark plugs I should have changed at 60 K. Then, I need to tackle to OFHG on it too.
