Hey guys,
So I've just traded my manual E90 320i (yes, I know![Rollsmile]( "Rollsmile")
) for a 2010 Auto E60 523i. I've been driving the car since Tuesday, and in the slow Joburg M1 North traffic, the gearbox does not seem to know if it wants to change up to 3rd gear when it "sounds" like it should, or not. When it eventually does, there is a bit of a jerk. Is this normal? From what I've read, these ZF boxes should have almost seamless changes? Also at pull away, their seems to be an occasional split second delay, between accelerating and moving off, accompanied by a slight "nudge". Now Im considering giving the car back to the dealer and cancelling the deal, or having motorplan sort out the issues, and keeping the car...
Am I getting myself into a situation where I'll end up with a car that spends more time at a workshop than being enjoyed on the road?
Any opinions?
Thanks
