Description of the problem | Vehicle stalls and dies while idling or on turning. Vehicle restarts after stall, but all steering is lost until restarted. Bmw has replaced the main computer control board twice (dme). Stalling is still evident. Total number of known stalls - 4. Also, based on postings on http://bimmer. Roadfly. Org/bmw/forums/e63/ it appears others have experienced problems with hardware/software on this make, but perhaps not to the same safety level as mine. Almost identical complaint on file with you:make: bmw model: 6 series year: 2004 complaint number: 10091708 summary: 2004 bmw 645: while driving 20 mph vehicle stalled and consumer was able to restart the vehicle.
