Question '89 260e engine keeps dying

Hello folks,

Our '89 260e has developed a problem. She runs great for about 3 to 5 miles then her engine cuts out. Specifically the engine runs rough when we come to a stop and shuts down upon trying to accelerate/leave the intersection.
This has happened twice to my daughter while turning right after a complete stop. Upon returning to retrive the car a few hours later it starts right up and we are able to drive her home without any issues.
The car has recently had a new fuel filter installed.
Any ideas as to what may be the problem?
I would hate to concede defeat and pay $100/hr for something that we may be able to reslove at home.

Thank you in advance!
