02 X5 stall in reverse when cold! Help $1,500 and still not fixed??????

[02BMWX5]

Hey guys no codes at all I had an O2 code replaced it and still having the issue.

The guy working on it was with BMW for 20 years but cannot figure it out but he does not think it's the MAF but I will have him check it

I must be something simple and it does not do it all the time

Hey guys I keep hearing about a DME software update could this be my issue?

How would I know if it needs it or if the Dealership can do it without them not doing it?

Contact your dealer with your VIN numbers at hand.

OK I will contact them in the morning so it would show if it's been updated or by the key I would assume

My guy who has been working on now says that may be the issue now that it appears that nothing else he has done has fixed it.

I don't think he as the tools to do it and now he is saying I need to go to the dealership

Send me the last 7 of your VIN.

Hey thanks again

2002 BMW X5 3.0 Sport

Are you sure that VIN is correct?

[02BMWX5]

Sorry too many cars

The correct vin is


LP57853

Thanks are you checking in the system for updates

I was looking to see if anything related to this issue was every replaced in your car. The only thing REMOTELY related is the ignition coil was replaced at 48k miles in september of 2004.
