    Diesel dies

    On five occasions, the engine of the 2011 X5 diesel abruptly died. This is at low speeds, 5 mph or so. No warning lite or code displays. The transmission goes into neutral. Putting it into park and hitting the start button restarts the engine.
    This has been checked twice by the dealer without identifying the cause.
    The most recent occurrence was today, going about 5 mph on a gravel driveway. As before, the engine dies and the trans goes into neutral. Quickly restarted after putting into park, etc. No code or warning displayed. The engine sounds ok, and it was able to go 50-70 mph without problem just after that.

    Any ideas about the problem and resolution?

    Thanks
