I have an 2005 BMW M3 SMG, with a VF stage 1 kit. I have bought new O2 sensors (pre cat) new maf, smoke test for leaks. The adaptations have been reset at BMW. Car runs lean when I take off from a stop then after after a few seconds it runs fine. When the car first starts the idle searches for about 20 minutes, if I don't try to steady it the car will stall. If I come to a quick stop the car stalls.

Dude, I used to have this problem...

For example, in heavy traffic conditions when you r basically stucked in first gear... on off clutch conditions.. car stalls. Or whenever you need to come to a stop whilst in 3rd gear etc... once the clutch goes in, the car dies (dipping RPM scenario).

One thing that worked for me... my tuner had accessed the throttle maps and raised the parameters (dont know how much exactly).

Voila... stalling issues solved

Hope this helps.
