Description of the problem	I started my car and begin pulling out of my parking spot. When i shifted from reverse to drive and pulled my foot off the brake to push the accelerator, the engine reduced power significantly, stalled, and the car died on me within a few seconds. There were several messages that appeared once the engine had died including "engine malfunction", "service engine soon" and "dsc - reduced drivability". The latter stated that it was still safe to drive the car though caution should be used. However, when i tried re-starting the engine, it would crank and sounded like it was trying to start, but would not actually start. Fortunately i was able to get a few people in the area to push me safely out of the active traffic lane i was stalled in into a parking spot. The car was towed to the nearest bmw dealership where cause of issue is still being diagnosed; so i still do not know root cause for this malfunction. Luckily i was in a parking lot when this happened, however, the thought that the engine could just stop and die on me at any point, such as when driving at 60+ mph on the freeway, is rather terrifying. Further, given the low miles and years on the car, running into such a serious issue is rather unsettling.
