This problem is most likely caused by the stock Blaupunkt amplifier which is located in the trunk on the drivers side behind the carpet that covers the inner fender.

remove the cubby and behind this you will find a blue relay which you should strip and resoldre the dry joints

Sounds the Blower resistor is bad.

BMW CUTS OUT

A few things to check.

1. Is fuel pump delivering enough fuel.
2. Is injectors clean. Perhaps dirt in fuel. replace fuel filter
3. Air leakage at top air intake of manifold at ICV idle control valve. Two hoses inside this housing prone to perishing.
4. Throttle position sensor faulty.
5. Mass air flow sensor faulty.
6. ICV faulty or dirty. comon fault on older e36.

Havent done it yet but ICV is easy to clean according to internet. instruction available at bmw e36 blog. All off above can be tested by yourself according to manual.

if you go to the dealer they will copy the mech manule it you ask them as they want you to get frustrated and take it to them
so go on and ask and if all else fails take it to them or goto local parts store like auto zone they can preint it off too
dealer is best bet though

in any good librairy you can loan them

This could be fuel filter clogged and/or impurities in the fuel system, fuel injection not adjusted properly or faulty coil. Hope this helps.

YOU NEED TO REPLACE THAT COPLETE HOSE ASSYMBLY ABOVE RADIATOR

look for a fusable link strap or a big fuse burned or a burned wire under the box

You just pop it out, use a screwdriver with a tape on the end of it so you wont damage or put any notches in it

Latch under the hood, Drivers side of the BMW emblem. Lift it up and voila!

When the car has cooled down, check antifreeze level. Check fan belt and fan blade clutch. Check if it has the proper thermometer installed.Check the fan belt tension.
