e60 530i n52 engine stall while idle

Recommended Posts

hey guys, it just happened to me today. first time ever since i bought the car few months ago.

i started the car warm in a parking lot, was playing with my phone while it idles then suddenly the rpm jolts and drops, then the car just dies and the check engine light stayed on. took me by surprise for a bit but then it started up fine and drove normally. no faults or lights, it just drove smooth and fine. 

any idea what happened? 

been reading around the internet and some people say it needs a software update, some pointing to fuel type.

i've always been running gull's force 10 if that helps. i had my mate check the info on my vehicle, and the programming level is still factory since the date of manufacture.
