What owners wrote

Engine randomly stalls (so random I cannot recreate) at any altitude but more so at high altitude by simply pulling in the clutch lever. This condition is obviously a safety hazard and could involve rear end collisions or other. BMW has not responded to dealership or myself with a fix for this condition.
