My Ride: 2007 Sapphire Black Metallic 525i. Beige Dakota Leather, Premium package, bluetooth, BMW Assist, Xenon adaptive lights, Sirius radio
MY car has been in the shop for lurching and lunging x 3 when started after sitting for 12hrs or so. I put it in reverse keep my foot lightly on brake while backing and my car will lurch and lunge backwords. I have come close to hitting my gate with my car. The problem is intermittent. The only time the dealership was able to duplicate they said the gas was 15% Ethanol. I have switched to Chevron , a top tier gas and now after a several weeks with no problems it did it this morning.
The dealership is at a loss. When they get a loaner in they are supposed to call me. In the mean time I am going to have to closely monitor. No fault codes have been found nor any CELs.
I love my car , but, cannot keep this up. The dealership is an hour away. I only have 42000 miles on my car. Fortunately it is still in warranty. Any ideas?
