Hi everyone

Can someone help please?

My 325i is not running smoothly. It's very jumpy at low revs, especially in 1st gear in traffic. It looks like uncle bucks car if anyone remembers that film. It sometimes cuts out if i let the revs drop. Which is a bit scary as its done this while going round a corner.

Does this sound like the idle control valve or something else?

Thanks everyone
