l was teaching my girlfriend to drive my car (manual).She let off the clutch too hard and it jumped forward about 4 times.l tried to restart it but it took 2 tries. Now it starts and runs but sometimes when Im at idle the engine revs up and down between 1 to 3 thousand rpms. Also the engine light, traction control light and brake light are all on.One more thing is that when Im driving and hit the accelerator it feels like its not getting enough fuel and almost sputters ever so slightly. l do not really know about cars, just wondering if anyone has any idea.

It is a scary thing teaching a girlfriend how to drive manual in a Bimmer ( l went through a clutch & wore a spot out of my carpet on the passenger side reaching for the brake)!
l would recomend u bring it to someone with a diagnostic tool to read the errors. l witnessed my car getting stalled many times, but no lights came on. Stalling should not be bringing up lights on the dash or causing hard RPMS, unless something went really bad during the ordeal. Definately get is scanned & move from there.

Get the car to the dealer, ask them to read the codes and re-set them.

It may work fine after re-setting the codes, if not, the dealer will know what needs to be done based on the codes.

Have fun,

Andy

p.s. get your woman to pay!

l have never heard of a bad clutch causing a rough idle as bad as the one u mention (one to three k rpm). So do not blame ur girlfriend or yourself for trying to teach her how to drive a manual trans car. Remember that years ago most cars were manuals.
Just have it diagnosed by a dealer or an independent BMW shop with the right diagnostic tools.
The check engine light may have come about from the knock sensor
being tripped by the jerking start off, the DSC by spinning of the rear wheels, & the brakelights by who knows what (a bad bulb maybe).

Definetly take it to your local autozone. They will scan it for free and tell you everything thats wrong with it. My 2000 328i was idling bad and sort of felt like not enough fuel was getting to the engine. Turned out to be the $450 mass air flow sensor.
