Transmission Fluid low causing my stall when cold? Help ready to sell!

Ok so i have this 2002 X 5 3.0 with 142,000 miles on it

I have replaced O2 sensors, Oil crankcase seperator, PCV valve, Idle control valve and nothing has fixed the issue

Here is my thought process:

My X5 when started cold wants to stall in reverse or drive and the rpm's drop below 500 rpms.

When the car warms up to normal temp say 10 min of driving it will not duplicate it.

Meaning it's fine and the truck runs fine and no slipping or nothing

Only when it's a cold start and I back out of the garage rpms drop and it wants to stall

Could it be something where the fluid is low or dirty and when the car warms up it breaks up or something?

Could a possible trans fluid change fix this issue?

I would think if it was a tranny issue I would have more issues than this?

Please help

Thanks

Hello no codes or nothing

It has been at the dealership and they went from injectors, to a thermostat to maybe torque converter

Truck runs great even when I first start it and take off after the rpms drop but if I back up slowly it wants to stall. 10 min later I stop and put in reverse and it will not do it like it never happened

Trying now to think simple verses dropping money every week

Thanks

just sold my 2002 4.6is x5 yesterday, traded it in for a 2010 nissan xterra and i am finally done with the problems...tranny was slipping even before i got the tranny fluid flushed and mechanic said it might be the transfer case but i am sick and tired of all the money and problems i was having this damn beemer so i did something about it and sold it. The damn thing spent more time in the shop than on the road, the final straw was when the drivers side door lock broke and that was it... good luck to ya...

You know,that's a the way I am heading to I think.My X runs ok,not fine,not excellent,just OK small issue here,another one there,it's 10 years old and I am not expecting any wonders over here,but..I am getting sink of a shuddering tranny,which was rebuilt and still shudders,it wonders a lot @ highway speeds,so suspension is due for check up,the rear passenger door carrier gave up,sick of opening the tailgate for every supermarket bag and so on and on and on and on.Thanks god I was able to fix the hatch actuator switch,it was opening the hatch every time I was gonna start the X or turn off the lights......

I dont blame anyone wanting to get rid of your x, only you would know when enough is enough...the money pit has to stop somewhere...wanting something more reliable without the burden of constant repairs is nothing to be ashamed of...

Maf sensor solved that prob for me. Some might say it's the cam sensor.

When I unpluged the MAF engine ran smother and shifts were nicer,but shudder I was pissed off about still was present.
In this particular case it may help,and more,I had stalls happened twice in two days in a row,when I was coming to stop,it would bang into 1st gear and stall the engine,it happened before,but never to stalling engine point,it was with operative temps on the clock,so it differs from this.
I started my research and found out about a MAF causing this kind of behavior,so I open the hood and surprisingly I find my intake boot loose and detached from the throttle body,so just tightening the clamps solved the stalls.
I your case I would disconnect the MAF connector and see if it does the same,you'll get the SES light on the second start up,you can erase it afterwards,if you have a scanner,even if you don't,I would still try 'cause it could be it.
