Re: 1989 351i stops

This is just an educated guess, but I would venture to say it is a fuel related problem. Unless you totaly drained & purger your fuel system, something has gone south in there. Could be in the lines, or the fuel pressure regulator could be contaminated with old hard varnish spots. I would try to fuel up with CHevron PREMIUM fuel & add some Redline fuel injector cleaner thru the car. Get a fresh fuel filter to change out after 3 tanks or so. Use a good premium fuel with fuel system cleaner & see what happens. If this doesn't do it, try another BMW dealer and keep a log of everything that happens so they have a better idea where to look.
