| Bmw 325i has an acceleration delay problem. when the driver demands a sudden increase in acceleration, the car hesitates anywhere from 1.5 to 3 seconds. i too have experienced this problem on my recently purchased 325i. initially thought it was the transmission, however the transmission seems to work fine in manual and sport mode. i only experience this defect during automatic mode. as stated this is a dangerous condition when someone is making a left turn in traffic, or getting onto a highway, or passing on a 2 lane country road, etc. problem is recurrent. *nm | |||

| Bmw 325i has an acceleration delay problem. when the driver demands a sudden increase in acceleration, the car hesitates anywhere from 1.5 to 3 seconds. this is a dangerous condition when someone is making a left turn in traffic, or getting onto a highway, or passing on a 2 lane country road, etc. other cars traveling at 60 mph are moving at 88 ft/sec. the amount of leeway this car needs is much too excessive. the car has been back to the dealer twice with the same diagnosis - problem not verified. friends who have driven my car think it is a dangerous condition. bad acceleration is just as bad as poor braking. *jb | |||
