goeslikeschnell,

I have a problem with N55 stalling that may be similar to yours.
Simptoms: engine silently shuts off without a tremor or CEL when cold - and i'm talking about first 5-10 minutes of trip. Tachometer is jumping wildly between 500 and 1000 rpm prior to stalling.

The stall is one-for-a-trip thing btw. The car restarts normally after and RPM never goes back to 500 until the end of the voyage, no matter what. Next day the story repeats itself.

Servicemen checked the error log and found no entries. They emptied the onboard computer memory, erasing every acquired "habit". Which helped for a day or two. Then the stall returned.

The solution was simple: to warm up a car for 3-5 minutes prior to driving. A car never stalled again.

Hope this might help, cheers
