Stalling when cold

[Chad Jones <chadfjones@xxxxxxx>]

I too have been having this problem for the last couple months.  I have a
328i
E46 as well and it doesn't manage to stall, but the RPMs do drop to just a
few
hundred before it rev's backup past a thousand and then settles back to
around
seven hundred.  I haven't bothered to take the time to take it in to the
dealer yet, though.
