| When i accelerate from a dead stop the engine lurches badly 1-3 times before it begins to actually accelerate. this has occurred ever since purchase in 11/06. this has occurred on hundreds of occasions and has nearly cause me many accidents by getting rear-ended by cars and semi's. i like on a side street next to a highway and when i try to pull out onto the highway quickly the car lurches several times before actually catching and moving. i've taken it back to the deal who says nothing is wrong with the car. however i've checked on a website (topix.com) and their are many complaints of the exact same problem, which bmw denies. this is very dangerous!!!! *tr | |||

| Twice in 6 weeks i have lost throttle response of the car at 70+ mph on highways. this is a manual transmission car and i had to shift into neutral to coast to the side of the road both times avoiding catastrophic accidents. the car behaves as if it has run out of gas but there was at least 1/4 of a tank of gas. bmw replace the fuel pump the first time in late march. it is currently in the bmw shop now. this is an extremely dangerous situation that should be investigated.*ak | |||
