| 1) transmission jerks forward when letting foot off brake intermittently 2) car has long starts; i believe it to be a fuel management problem 3) car has reduced power intermittently problems occurs about every two days; the transmission jerking forward and reduce power is unsafe. it can't be forecasted during everyday driving. i have in contact with bmw na and my local service center for repairs. car has approximately 2000 miles; bmw claims no issues with the system. fuel/transmission issue makes the car hard to predict. bmw dealer recommended a different fueling station due to ethanol contact; since i started using their recommended gas stations, the problem has gooten worse. it should be noted the car has not technically failed yet. i've created an excel chart to track the issues, events and date/mileage/status of car conditions. i will keep in contact with the service manager of the dealer with the re-occuring issues. vehicle type 2008 bmw 335i coupe (model was not listed in drop-down bar later in complaint). *tr | |||
