Engine has started to cut out without warming. The hazard warning light (the one that comes on when you turn the ASC off) also the battery and oil lights are on and are red. The car will not start for a while (sometimes hours later).
Not the battery or the alternator, and will start every time when cold.
Will now only travel some 500m then engine will die.

- Scobie4497 - Hello there. Mine turned out to be the crank shaft sensor (as the last post from 2012antony suggested). Cost about $700 to be replaced and problem fixed in a couple of hour.
Sounds like a sensor problem again.. Good Luck.....

BMW 318i e46 engine 1998cc. Gearbox does not seem to engage fully when engine is cold in the mornings. Car only moves forward very slowly and only becomes normal after about one to two minutes of engine revving.
