SOURCE: I have what sounds like the same prob on my 1986 R80

This is a classic sign of vapor lock. Older BMW's are notorious for this. Purge the fuel lines & make sure that the choke is not sticking.

After a short highspeed acceleration and then suddently drive slow or just stop for traffic lights, sometimes the engine just doesnt rev anymore. Then I have to open the throttle very wide just to continue...

but is the fuel going to carbs or injectors--also chec fawcett at tank--if theres a fuel pump it may be failin--those hispeed spurts consume much petrol no wheelies

I have a 2001 Mercedes C240. When the engine is running with car stopped you can feel a bit of trembling. It also cuts off during driving and at slow speeds only. Like when I will the foot off the pedal...

The first thing you do is have the engine control module scanned for fault codes. I also suggest you buy a can of spray throttle valve cleaner and clean the throttle valve and the idle speed control valve.

Overheating, and reving up and down at idle.

You need some new head gaskets, my friend. Or you have a cracked head... either one = BIG BUCKS. bummer.

Cranks as though battery is dying

That sounds like your alternator might need to be replaced.

Vw golf stalls at lights and roundabouts

Check out the rubber/metal flange that joins the carburettor to its manifold. Wait while the engine is cold. Then check if the carburettor moves . Do this by taking hold of the carburettor and moving it a little side to side. The rubber mounts are known to perish after a time and this can cause air to be sucked in through the cracked flange rubber and in turn causing the engine to drop revs. The flanges are a replacement part and not too expensive so its a relativley easy fix if this is the problem.
GOOD LUCK
