I've stalled 2 times, & my wife twice. All my stalls were when doing a u-turn or something like that at idle, a/c on.
I'm also REALLY glad to hear about the dealer being able to fix it--wil call East Bay BMW Monday.

this is my theory on the stall issue...if you have the a/c on and are idle in drive you can notice a slight fluctuation in rpm as the fan works. So my theory is that the car stalls because when you press on the brakes the rpm drops really fast and combined with the a/c lowering the rpm by a bit more it results in a stall. So I don't think the stall has anything to do with locked turns. It's just pure coincidence that's all. What do you guys think?
