## What is wrong

On certain M3 vehicles equipped with the multistage downshifting of the double clutch gearbox, during some cases involving rapid vehicle deceleration, the transmission software may perform a multistage downshift.  In this situation the clutch is open for a approximately 200msec.  When this occurs, positive gear engagement is interrupted.  In conjunction with the engine's over run fuel cut\-off at low speed, there is a possibility for the engine to stall.  Loss of propulsion, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash.  Correction:  Dealers will re\-program the Engine Electronic Control Module.
