I had something similar with mine - e46 2002 similar mileage.
When stopped - at traffic lights etc. - the rev counter used to jump
up and down a little - and the car used shake (like the engine was
going to stall)
I brought to mechanic - he did a quick diagnostics test - all clear -
then quickly said that the throttle body needed cleaning. He did that
- and all fine since!
Hope this helps!
Keith.

My E46 is suffering from a strange problem.
The revs drop down to 500rpm and the engine almost stalls before
shooting back up to a normal 800rpm idle.
This happens usually when the clutch is dipped and accelerator
released when the car is cold and/or heated rear window / aircon is
on.
Anyone experienced similar problems or have an idea on a solution ?
Had the car in at the dealer and under extended warranty they have
replaced:
-reversing sensor cone
-full heated rear windw
-heater fan
-offside rear light cluster
-wiring leading to each rear light cluster
I cant complain about getting an X3, Mini Cooper S or 320d from the
dealer for a day every week but its not solving the core problem...
Lastly, car is a 2002, fsh, only 45k
