“My 2002 Bmw 325ci engine stalled as I was slowing down to exit the freeway. The dash lights lit up and my engine shutoff. As I was rolling to a stop (good thing no one was in front or behind me), I put the car into neutral and restarted the engine. The engine started back up and I was able to continue to drive. I have an automatic transmission with steptronic. This has happened one other time a few months back when leaving a gas station where I needed to come to a stop and pressed the brake and the engine turned off. …”
