Well, if it was an omega I would suggest Idle control valve needs cleaning, or crank sensor is dying. Dont know how applicable that is to the beemer though. Undecided

Has he had any work done on car recently - how long has it been doing it? Look very carefully at air intake boots for improper fitting or splits
