My bmx 5 (2004) stalls occasionally at low speeds. This has occurred 4 times in the last three months. The service center has been unable to duplicate the problem or determine the cause. I'm usually exiting a parking lot or school when it occurs and estimated speed is between 5 and 10 MPH. There are no sensors or warning indicators before or after the incident and a diagnostic check at the bmw service center revealed no sensors or indicators activated. There were two recalls for bmw x 5 2004 models that were related to stalling but have not been associated with my particular vehicle. I'm concerned the problem will result in a crash.
