I have a 2002 BMW 325i that does the same thing. I found out that the connection point between the oil well and spark plug gets wet from the oil. This is caused by the deterioration from the spark plug boot. You need to replace all the rubber boots on your spark plug ends and maybe your plugs if you have not done so within the last 3 to 6 years.
There are many things that can cause a car to cut off. Lack of electricity throughout the car, lack of fuel through the fuel system, and parts not being connected or firing correctly.
What would cause my VW golf to cut out whist driving
Safety cut off? Have you bumped the car recently or had a slight accident? No....
If you mean 'cut off' as in the car dies while driving its probably your alternator.
A 1999 BMW 740iL may cut off while driving due to several potential issues, including fuel delivery problems, such as a clogged fuel filter or failing fuel pump. Electrical issues, like a faulty ignition switch or battery connection, can also cause the engine to stall. Additionally, problems with the engine management system, such as a malfunctioning sensor or a failing ECU, may lead to unexpected shutdowns. Regular maintenance and diagnostics are essential to pinpoint the exact cause.
why does it matter if you're driving down a hill? At least it didn't cut off when you were driving up a hill? And I don't know why it would cut off I'm 13.
