Exclamation 94 740iL SHUTS OFF when I stop!

Good Evening,

My e32 has a few problems but most important first, I'm supposed to drive cross country in a few days...

the car shuts off when I come to a hard stop, even gradual stops at times. the rpms just die all the way down to zero.

the symptoms are:

*It only happens once the engine has warmed up (15-20 minutes of driving)
*slow roll to a stop and it's fine, maybe the rpm's dip under 500 briefly
*if i put the car in neutral and stop hard it never dies

so it has to be in gear and the car has to be warm and it will happen guaranteed and repeatedly

Any suggestions for a fix, can I be directed to a thread?

*the mechanics computer reads error in the "transmission switch" but i believe this is only related to why my car gets stuck in on gear sometimes and my dash reads "trans program"

Thank you all,

Nick
