It is probably the Idle Air Control (IAC) if you don't have any vacuum leaks.

SOURCE: Engine cuts out, or stalls while driving. Will

I have been told the following as my BMW 320i Touring experienced the same problem
1. the lose of power occurs gradually
2. It occurs when the car loses traction in the drive wheels. For example a free spinning wheel will cause the car to lose power and stall
3. There is no other indication that there is any problem - all other functions appear to be working
4. Having baldish tyres could also trigger an event if the wheels spin
5. Could happen if the wheel is lifted or spins on a wet or oily road

The car restarts
I am still wanting to verify this as it appears that the only condition that triggered the event to occur on my BWM was that the rear tyre are nearing replacement stage- Road and conditions were good and the wheels were not spinning or free wheeling

2007 BMW 328i dies at idle, but only after driving more than 45 min. If I restart it without removing the key, it idles rough. If I remove key and then restart it, it runs fine for another 45-60 min.

As you have eliminated the coil and spark plugs than it is likely fuel-related. Perhaps your fuel line is degraded or your fuel pump is failing. Unfortunately until you either have more sophisticated diagnostic equipment such as DIS or ISTA where are you can look at parameters such as fuel pressure it will be they put up with it until it finally fails kind of scenario. Ione several BMW and have never had that problem without a code. Sorry you're saying that you do not get a check engine light at all?

Rough Idling on stand still?

Most Likely you have a vacuum leak. (hole or broken Hose). For a 2011 it is probably to early for the Valve cover gaskets to be leaking, but that is a possible cause. The older the car the more likely this is the case. Can also be caused by using less than premium fuel. Don't skimp and use mid grade and definitely NOT regular. Also could be the idle control valve.

2007 BMW 328i back driver window is not rolling up, help?

It's probably the window regulator, common problem in BMW.
It's not hard to replace, but if not mechanically inclined, better to take to a dealer or your independent BMW technician, the part is not terribly
expensive (for a BMW)but labor might run into some $$ at the dealer.

1996 bmw 328i has bin sitting for three years what are the first things I should do before I start it

I would change the oil, disconnect the coil or fuel pump and crank the engine for several minutes to let the oil pump work.
Put a few gallons of fresh gas in the tank, and see what happens.
You may have to run that gas out and then replace the fuel filter.
If it starts ok, just let it idle for several minutes before you raise RPM. Listen for noises and see if the cooling system works.
There is a chance you may have to change the trans fluid and filter after you try to drive it.
And after driving a few miles, be sure and check the brakes and all of the engine hoses for leaks.

Have to mash gas pedal on 2007 buick rendezvous to crank, after starting it will idle fine but sometimes die for no apparent reason, what would cause this?

Test your fuel pressure for leak down while sitting.. It should hold 52-59 psi... If not it could be a weak fuel pump..Also test the fuel pressure regulator to see if its leaking gas into the vacuum lines.. Alot of times you can do this by running the vehicle then leaving it set for 45 min and then removing the vacuum line at the fuel regulator and checking for wetness... If its wet with fuel its leaking and needs replaced..

1997 bmw 328i car runs fine during the day...left over night...and the plugs seem to get flooded need to pull the fuel pump fuse to dry them out then it starts right up and will be fine ...until the next...

I,m not a BMW guy but it sounds like it could be a couple different things, a stuck open fuel injecter, or fuel pump problem, or even a fuel pressure regulator. I had a 97 tahoe and the pressure regulator was defective it caused my engine to hydro lock, which is the same as vapor lock but a fluid cuases the engine to lock , caused by fuel or antifreeze in my case it was fuel.

Car ships replaced wires plugs o2 sencer sometimes acts like it is flooding run fine on open road.

If it acts like it is flooding while idling, but it runs fine on the road, it could be running too rich and flooding it out due to leaking injectors, bad fuel pressure regulator, or excessive fuel pressure.

I would start by replacing the Fuel Pressure Regulator since it doesn't cost as much as the injectors.
Check your fuel pressure using a Fuel Pressure Check Gauge to see if the fuel pressure regulator is maintaining the proper pressure.

Vacuum is attached to the Fuel Pressure Regulator to control system pressure. When the fuel pressure regulator is not functioning properly it causes the fuel pressure to be above normal operating pressure. This condition causes excess fuel to be injected causing a rich mixture that produces black smoke.

Car will not idle. Starts fine, but kills when put in gear (auto). this can be worked out by gassing it and driving for a few minutes, but what causes?

i would check for a vacume leak check all hoes going to the egr vavle and such. if thats not it. could be low fuel pressure or clogged injectors the list can go on and on but see if the fuel pump is working and the fuel pressure regulator.

I have an 328i if let idle it runs ruff

The BMW 328i
Firstly clean the air filter as it seems that the engine is choking.
This should do it... if not...
Check the fuel filter and clean it ..you could use a good additive in your fuel to do he same.
The last resort will be to check the fuel pump as the right amount of fuel is not being delivered to the block.
