Hi, I have a 2002 model 320ci Bmw, whilst idling the rev's stay constant at just over 500 when increased to above 1000 the car starts hunting by around 500 rev's, fine when stationary but as soon as you're at the biting point on the clutch becomes quit difficult to avoid stalling especially if your holding on the clutch on an incline, also once the clutch is fully out and your accelerating away in first gear the acceleration is lumpy instead of smooth, any ideas of the cause please?

Sounds like a fouled spark plug or a faulty coil. Is the check engine light on?
