Hi Guys,
Just brought a 1988 E30 325i
it is a powerful car indeed.

My problem is the engine stopped sometime, but it can re-start right away.
what will be the problem(s) ?

thank you

I'd try to replace the Motronic and fuel pump relays. There is a long
black plastic strip next to the diagnostic connector at the top of the
engine bay, they live underneath it.
