The symptoms you described can be caused by a number of issues, including a faulty idle control valve. The idle control valve regulates the engine's idle speed by adjusting the amount of air that bypasses the throttle plate. When the idle control valve fails, it can cause the engine to rev up and down or stay at a high idle speed.
However, there are other possible causes for the symptoms you described. It's also possible that there is a problem with the throttle position sensor, mass airflow sensor, or fuel system.
To diagnose the problem accurately, I recommend taking your BMW to a qualified mechanic who can perform a diagnostic check using specialized equipment. They can then identify the root cause of the issue and provide an appropriate solution.

Try the trunk lid where the tools are kept. The tools that I'm talking about are on the actual trunk lid, or atleast they are on my 94 318i. There should be a copy of the VIN there.

Taurus stalls while slowing down (low RPM)

Most likely Idle air control valve fault. Usually wont set a code unless it has a short or unplugged. There are some test that can be performed with a high end scanner but with out the data not much you can do.

My BMW 325xi started to brake automatically

It sounds like a malfunctioning caliper. Look through your wheels and see if the rotors are bluing (excessive heating).

At that age its a rebuild or re manufactured unit. I'll be expensive. Probably more cost effective to replace car.
