Go find some old car or truck with a manual clutch and find some hills and have your friends pull up behind you and stop with in a foot of your bumper and the goal is not to hit their car. If you can master this you can drive any new car with a clutch. New cars are far easier than what they use to be.
To put in perspective, I taught my son on my 335I and it took a number of days of trying before he got it right, then he bought a GT mustang which had manual clutch and he almost had to learn all over again, it gave him problems at first.
I learn to drive a stick on a old time truck with 3 on three tree and tractors and I can pretty much start on a hill without rolling back. But the BMW has created some bad habits since it hold the brakes on a hill.
