If u don't have a check engine light try this procedure to fix it.
Here is the most common cause of surges and stalls and low idle rough idle, it is the idle speed control air-bypass valve and throttle valve (IAC for short), they get full of gunk over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.

Why dose my bmw 3srz 1995 stalls while driving then then cranks but wont start for about 5 min what to do tdo to fi?

Ask a local mechanic to have a look for you ,faults could be anything for this problem although i would suspect that the petrol pump could be faulty or the electrical connections to the pump which is under the back seat behind a cover which allows access to the pump /sender unit ,could also be the elcetrical connection on the unit playing up as well so look for burnt connections in the socket to this unit

Bmw 328i stalling when idle

Sounds like bad O2 sensors. Get your car serviced from a reputable BMW mechanic. You'll save time and money going to a BMW guru. Our BMW's have certain quirks that a BMW "Specialist" mechanic can quickly diagnose and repair, thus, saving you time and money.
