2021 X3 MC almost stalls out when idling

djhartm69 · 06-22-2021, 12:46 PM

Hey guys, I've noticed that my car, if left idling for a while, like when running into the gas station for something, will enter a very low idle and almost stall before catching & idling normally again.

It has done this numerous times.

It has never stalled, but sounds like it will. Not great for an $85k vehicle.

It's due for it's second oil change soon, so I will mention it when I bring it in, but just curious if this is 'normal'.

Obviously it's not normal. This has never happened to me even once on my 2020. How long has this been happening?

Well, it's only got 8k miles.

Seems like its been happening for several months.

I was wondering if it was a bad tank of gas but if it's been happening for months you should take it in to get checked out as it's not normal.
