ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL
11/01/2011	1000
	I would formally like to report a major safety concern i have regarding my new 2011 bmw 335is convertible. from a standstill without modifying any of the default configurations on the car, flooring the gas pedal, the car lurches forward (as expected) and then power completely cuts out for a second and then will continue on its way. my guess is the dsc is kicking in causing power to be reduced and then re-established. my concern is that a brand new car should be able to be floored without this happening. i recently had this exact situation occur as i was pulling out into traffic and very narrowly missed getting pummeled by another car when power was cut to my car. i have taken my car to my bmw service station and although they agree that the car should not do this
