Hm, My '90 900i, 270000 km has something like that as well. With a cold engine, it will run rough and stall if I don't step on the accelerator. This may happen when the weather is either very hot, very wet or very cold (so yes, most of the time). Stepping on the accelerator will keep the engine alive but there is quite a delay before it finally picks up. After a minute or so, all is fine. The mechanics have looked it over quite a lot, never found a solution but to increase the idle RPM.
