I would look for a fuel-starvation problem. Fuel filter, pump, dirt in the tank, etc. Does it have two fuel pickups - and the one in one side of the tank is plugged?

I agree with the other poster. Keeping the tank more than half full seems to help this problem in E36 and E34 diesels.
I had that problem but it gradually got worse, it turned out to be the injection pump. It was diagnosed quickly as it is a common fault on these.
Worth a go. It cost me £95 to have the problem sorted out.
Hope that this helps
hi, engine will stall or cut out once it has warmed up. its driving me nuts. it will drive ok loads of power etc, but its a pig when slowing down, and the revs drop off, bang! it will stall...regards
I would , because you ignored the other posters, throw the damned thing off a cliff.
Problem solved.
