 BMW 3-Series E90 - 09 2 Power without accelerator - Iffy
...and the engine management electronics will try and stop a car stalling...

If I'm not paying attention, I sometimes let the CC3 (2.0 diesel) slow down too much in 6th on the over-run.

When it reaches the geared speed for tickover, there is a feeling of 'power without accelerator' as described by the OP.

I've always thought it's a function of the anti-stall part of the engine management.

The answer, as mentioned, is to change down earlier.
