1985 325e stalling in hot weather

I have a 1985 325e that has done fine until recently. Now whenever the outside temp gauge reads about 110 I can only drive about 5-7 miles before its starts sputtering and eventually stalling. I can sit for about 5-10 min and drive another 2-3 miles before the process starts all over. I have tried with a full tank and 1/4 tank of gas. The engine itself is only only showing slightly hotter than in the winter. Any thoughts??

Fuel pump dying out when it heats up (hot weather then running)? Been seeing a lot of that lately.
