F01 N63 stalls

Hey guys, I decided to gamble on an N63 car. I'm more of an M62 guy, but what's the worst that could happen?

2009 750i, when it gets hot ie. stopped at a red light for a minute, it'll fall into "Fuel System Malfunction" and limp mode, and then die. If you wait around 10 minutes, it'll start back up no problem.

If you're on the Interstate for hours, no issues. If you're on a short journey less than 30 minutes, it's totally fine. Runs smooth, power is great.

I verified with my scan tool that the HPFPs follow the commanded fuel pressures, but the LPFP throws a power issue code. I'll have to scan it again and reply with the specific code.

My thoughts are.. Crank position sensor, LP fuel pump relay, LPFP, and worst case scenario, DME. (Edit) Now adding in EKPS module.

Thoughts? Check engine light and limp mode goes off after 2-3 starts.

Car has 138,000 on it, pretty much all highway miles. It's had chains, HPFPs, index 12s, valve stem seals, and two turbos done to it less than 15,000 miles ago. I know the PO and it was only dealer maintained at BMW of Crystal Lake IL.
