Engine Mechanical problem
2005 BMW X3 6 cyl Automatic 76000 miles

Check engine is on. Took it to a mechanic, couldn't find anything wrong based on plugging in key. He re-set the light and it came back on the next day. Car also seems to shift odd. Acts like it wants to stall when either starting car or stopping. Also hesitates when trying to pick up speed.

Is your mechanic BMW trained? Does he have the correct scanning equipment? BMW cars often will not take to generic scanning, especially for power train related faults such as automatic transmission or transfer case issues. You may need to seek out someone that does.
