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

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.
