Like moog, I've become really frustrated by this behavior. It's not at all intermittent -- it happens every time the car drops into 2nd gear when slowing (and not completely stopping). Decelerating to turn corners is an exercise in frustration (especially with passengers in the car) because the car won't accelerate out of the corner right away... and if it does, it does so rapidly, throwing everyone's heads into the headrests. I've tried upshifting to third gear, but there's a lag in that as well if I've already given the car some gas. I've had the first software update performed (that seems to have fixed the stalling in 2nd gear) and am really hoping BMW sorts the rest of it out and issues another update. This is souring what has otherwise been a brilliant ownership experience.

Yes, this serious safety issue still exists in the MY2009 M3s
