I am so screwed, HELP my car died

[frenchym3]

My car has been stolling once in a while out of nowhere. It started about a year ago, and finaly it died for good.
Last week it stoled on a red light, and I can't drive it since then. [U]The engine is running though, but when I push the gas pedal it goes up to 2000 RPM and stoles again. At the very beginning I was able to drive on realy low RPM's for few feet, now I can't even move an inch. The check engine, EML and DSC lights are ON.
I'm thinking of:

- vacuum leak
- resetting
- oxygen sensor
- camshaft sensor
- throttle body
- fuel pump


Please give me some advices.

For all Los Angeles members; do you know a decent place to go and fix it, without paying an outragous amount of money.
You can't live in LA and not have a car.

Thanks.

my advice is to hook a scanner to your obd2 port and see what codes it will read and then look up what these codes mean on the internet there is a website that translates or explains the codes www.my330i.com . u can buy a scner for about 100 dollars or u can take u r car to a delaer and let them diagnose the problem, they charged me 93$ in NC.
i once had the dsc light come after replacing a battery but hen turned off by itself after a month or so( don't know why) but i didnt have any running probs or symptoms u described

I agree, run the codes...

I'm no bmw expert, but it sounds exactly like what would happen if the MAF sensor failed.

Usually makes it ALOT EASIER to HELP if WE knew what kind of car this is????????......sounds like cam/crank sensor but who knows with the info given?????
