Firstly, it's not an oil cooling problem. The car started doing it only a few minutes after she started it. No nearly enough time to get any heat into the oil. As far as you "wondering" why I didn't take it into the service dept, I'll refer you to today's date, and remind you it's Labor day. No service dept near me is open today. I even tried to get BMW Road Side assistance to come get it, and drop off a rental car for her. They declined,a nd told to me call the local sevice dpt tomorrow when they re-open.

Never said it was an oil cooling problem. The point I was getting to in my post was, "this is the only occasion that I've heard of the N54 twin turbo engine shutting down", therefore you should have an experience professional take a look at it. Second of all, being in Korea, I would not have known if it is Labor Day or your birthday. I understand you are frustrated with the problems you are having with your car and your sense of urgency in trying to resolve it, but there really is no need to get irritable. In the end, we are only trying to help. Hope you get the problem resolved to your satisfaction and happy motoring...
