Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2003 bmw 330i, i have an issue where the engine stalls when the coasting to a stop, or sitting stationary, and with the clutch fully depressed. engine also exhibits uneven/odd acceleration behavior, often lagging noticeably at speed. i've had the car at the dealer to diagnose the problem on 4 occasions in the past year (19k miles) with zero resolution. because the car isn't throwing an error codes, i guess that i have to just "live with it". not acceptable. this can be a dangerous issue, especially when coasting to a stop. i would like to see bmw finally step up to the plate and address this issue. i just shouldn't have to live with something like this, in this day in age, and with a mass-produced car. *ak
