2006 Bmw X5 Cannot Start

2006 bmw X5 3.0 only 84K original owned. Engine could not crank on first 2-3 times, waited 2 - 3 minutes it'd crank. happened several times a week. Battery replaced less than a year. Took to local Curry shop, they found weak alternator & recommended to replace. Did that 3 weeks ago, problem persists. Last night went to see movie, the X5 was parked for 4 hours in the low 40F, car would not start, waited for couple of minutes it cranked. While driving home 7 minutes later engine went dead in the middle of the road. Quick turn into less traffic road, parked & started the engine & drove home.
