2 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 04/09/2004

BMW 330i exhibits frequent erratic idle when stopped, as well as engine stalling. Erratic idle is in the form of engine speed drops below 400-500 rpm. Stalling sometimes occurs as a result of these idle speed drops. This is a common issue among recent 330 model BMW's, and apparently there is no known solution at this time.

3 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 02/14/2004

I have a 6-speed manual transmission 330cic and when I put the gear into neutral at a stop the engine rpm would dip drastically and stalls several times in traffic. Periodically the engine rpm would dip so rapidly that the engine stalls from idle position. This can happen in the driveway or on a road at an 4-way light. Basically anytime the engine is at idle there is a potential for stalling. I experienced stalls in heavy traffic as well as sitting at a stop light.
