E55 stalled when put into gear
Earlier today, I went to move the E55 from one side of the driveway to the other, and had it stall when I put it into gear...
I was in a hurry though, and did not start it like I usually do (usually start it and let the idle come down to 650rpm), but since I was in a hurry, I put it into gear as soon as it felt like it started (maybe even before the computer thought it was running). It stumbled and died.
Any thoughts? Too sporadic to call it one thing? I am probably being wayyy to paranoid, as its the only time its ever happened... I am also guessing the responses will be that I am too paranoid, and its 1D10T/operator error, and that I should have let it idle for a few seconds before going... lol

I guess I can throw a new one in there, wouldn't hurt. 
For grins, I installed a new crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor when I bought the car 6 months ago. About 3 months ago, I installed a new fuel pump relay and socket (had the trunk taken apart at the body shop, and noticed that the relay was not firmly seated, and would not seat firmly). The car had new fuel pumps installed at 110k miles, and the car presently has 139k miles.
