hi there...

Was there any leak underneath? I had the same problem last week. Now my 1997 E36 is in the workshop. At first i thought it was just the starter... Fix it... after fixing it the engine starts to overheat. Diagnozed the problem and found out that my engine oil has mix with water. Need to do overhaul. The problem you mentioned sounds familiar like my car. So i'm suggesting to do check through computer at the workshop who has the mechanism to check with the computer. Good Luck!

Have you tried getting 2nd opinion from other workshops? Maybe you can try Mspeed in USJ. I've been reading alot of good reviews on the expertise of Ah Meng there.

You can find the direction to Mspeed in this thread:-

May be the failing crankshaft sensor which causes such symptoms

Failing crank shaft sensor will immediately kill the engine and won't start again. Inconsistent idling is mostly due to dirty MAF (Mass Air Flow sensor) or problematic ICV (Idle Control Valve).

Bro

As what we saw that day, your leakage is serious.
Transmission oil pan gasket, oil sump gasket. At 160k, most of your seals are gone and needs to be replaced. The hardest hit will be the fly wheel oil seal as the transmission needs to be removed to replace this. I have gone through this phase... can't avoid it unless you sell the car.
