This sounds heat related -- runs fine when engine is cold, stalls when hot, then runs after cooling off.
Before doing anything else, check the crank sensor at the back of the engine/bell housing. If it is badly worn, with exposed wires in the cable, that is your culprit. (I had the exact same problem when I had my 260E)

This has happened twice to my daughter while turning right after a complete stop. Upon returning to retrive the car a few hours later it starts right up and we are able to drive her home without any issues.
The car has recently had a new fuel filter installed.
Any ideas as to what may be the problem?
I would hate to concede defeat and pay $100/hr for something that we may be able to reslove at home.
Thank you in advance!
