The car had no symptoms leading up to the event. Car was idling in parking lot to warm up and randomly turned off. Would not turn back on and had to be towed to a shop. Found out that the crankcase ventilation system froze causing oil present in all six cylinders. System was replaced once the mechanic had access to the technical service bulletin. Mechanic was surprised to see BMW had no recalls for this design flaw since it is very dangerous. If the car had been moving with 2500-3500 rpms, much more damage would have been caused with anywhere from piston rings to engine block in addition to an accident and possibly death or injury.
