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. :-/

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
