Mine seemed to also be correlated to gas quality, every now and then you can get bad gas, I noticed a local Shell V Power station did it to my car and stopped taking that car there for months. Then didn't stall for months, just this week I had my car stall twice on cold start which ironically happened just after filling up at another station.

Also there are people talking about MAF sensors, unplugging and running the car for a bit (more in the 2 series forums) which oddly fixed it for many people. Lastly cleaning MAF sensor.

It is kind of a weird issued and not a fun one to have but hopefully this gives you a little more info and things to check.
Yeah I think I stumbled on some of those threads while searching the forums.
I usually pump gas at Wawa, Kangaroo, and Shell. It may be the MAF sensor because I did get these codes:
• 10B101 Ambient Temp Sensor: Short Circuit to Positive

• 108001 Intake air Temperature Sensor, electrical: Short Circuit to B+

• 108010 Intake-air temperature sensor, electrical:signal not plausible.

They have since disappeared but something has to be wrong if they popped up.
