2004 BMW 330ci 6 speed manual - 3. 0l inline 6 cyl. Intermittent problem - idle becomes erratic and car stalls. This has happened approx 6-8 times over 8 months/5000 miles. Normally happens on warm days and at a stop light/stop sign. It once happened in the middle of a turn which caused me to lose power steering. Dealer has seen the car 3+ times and updated idle control valve, and engine software but problem persists. It is very intermittent and doesn't throw any computer fault codes.
Car stalled several times at red lights. Rpm dropped with no warning. Also experience rough idling when at complete stop.
Engine power failure and heavily distorted windshield on a 2004 BMW 330ci. Repeated failure of engine power without warning (twice in an itersection). BMW replaced eng. Computer, then installed new software after second incident. Rough idle and surging continues and gas mileage in city dropped to 12. 6-13 mpg. Additionally the windshield is heavily distorted. BMW replaced it with an equally distorted one and the fse said"all 3 series windshields are distorted,worse on the x3". It is like driving in the rain without wipers. In both cases the BMW fse has stated the " there is nothing more to be done". This is the real BMW warranty service. This lemon is unsafe to drive.
