<E30> rough running/stalling problem

[E30325is@xxxxxxx]

my '87 325iS is running a bit rough under load between 2K and 4K rpm. it 
feels like its missing. it idles OK, and it still has good power at WOT.  
then today as i was backing out of a parking space the car stalled.  i would 
have the car in reverse, give it throttle & let the clutch out a bit to get 
moving slowly, then put the clutch back in. the engine would blip up to ~1200 
rpm, then stall on me. it did this three times. once i got the car moving, it 
didn't stall again. 

i checked the things that came to mind when i got home: cap and rotor are OK, 
plugs aren't fouled, no vacuum leaks that i can see. in tank fuel pump and 
fuel filter are 6 months old. im wondering if my air flow meter is on its way 
out. has anyone had similar problems that were solved with a new AFM? any 
help is greatly appreciated.
