My Ride: 2010(60) BMW 520d SE, Manual, In Sophisto Grey with Cream/Black Interior and Piano Black trim
Hi guys,
I'm having abit of an intermittent problem when setting off in my pre-LCI '07 520d. I can be driving along, perfectly fine, no probs, slow down to a stop at a roundabout or junction, go to set off in first, there is no power what so ever, it chugs on like a snail, i change to second, put the foot down, chugs on again, then the turbo kicks in and it pulls away.
I can count on one hand the number of times its happened since owning her, but it happened today, and left me stranded on a roundabout to the point where someone nearly ran into me. I have to admit, i've never sworn at a car as much as i did today in my life!
Anyone experience anything similar, or can anyone shed some light on this peculiar phenomenon?
