Badmnky is an unknown quantity at this point
Will 93 740il lock motor with low oil?

My wife was driving home and said the car just stalled out like it was out of gas. I noticed the red oil light was on (as well as "low oil" in the message board...aagghhhh!) and put in 3 quarts to bring it to level. The car turns over but will not start. It sounds as if it isn't getting any fuel. I suspect the fuel pump may have gone but I recall hearing that if the oil gets too low the car will shut itself down.

All lights are still on after topping off. Thank you for any input.
