Engine dies
Guys,
I have a 2001 330i and the car dies on slow traffic. Freeway driving it runs good, no problem but once I hit slow traffic, stop and go, the engines dies when you hit the brakes.
Any feedback on this?
thank you.  |

if its an automatic go to BMW at once. My mom got in a wreck with our honda civic over this. The engine and tranny werent compatible so the car would die under hard braking, causing my moms power brakes to go out and rear end someone. Not saying the BMW has the exact same problem...but it can be dangerous. Is the car under warranty? We got a refund for our car because honda fucked up the car.
check it out...u dont wanna wreck due to no braking power.
