I have a 2 year old 330 Clubsport which I have had for a month now. This
morning, the engine management light came on when I started it, and would
not go out. When idle, the car is very choppy and does not tick over
smoothly. When driving, I don't feel like I have all the power I used to
have, and when pulling away the car "kangaroos" away.

Any ideas what I should check / what causes this? The dealer can't look at
it until next week.

Thanks,
steve

Lots of things cause this.  Get the codes downloaded for starters.

It turns out it was one of the coils, all purring nicely now.
