I just mentioned this thread to the MB technician rebuilding my 119 motor (he drives a 500E too!). He feels that this stalling phenomenon is most likely a dirty throttle plate - as they become dirty over time, they adapt in order to let enough air into the engine. However, eventually they approach their adjustment limit, and in a hard turn (like a u-turn) there's simply no more adjustment that can be made to adapt to that situation.
The fix involves removing the MAF and cleaning the throttle plate. With that done, re-assemble everything and turn the car to the "on" position, but do NOT start it - wait 20-30 seconds until you hear some loud clicking sounds from under the hood (leave the hood raised during all of this) which indicates that the throttle plate's re-setting itself.
Please advise if this helps - good muck to all!
