The engineer's "Help"
Bone head from BMW tells me; 1. Well how often do you have to brake hard then floor it. (Just once on the freeway with the truckers doing 75+ may be too many times thanks.) 2. Well there's forces built up that need to be dissipated. (Interesting, what forces? the engine is doing 1000 rpm and I know the wheels are only doing 10 mph. what's left to dissipate?) He didn't know. All I can figure is there is still some valves in the trans that are held in place by hydraulic pressure that needs to be bled off. You'd think of all manufacturers BMW would insist that the transmission works better.
If you've got a 07 or later 328xi, and you have to stand on the brakes, shift into neutral while you're braking. Then you can take off in only 2 seconds, instead of 3+ if you immediately shift into drive at the end of the brake cycle. (Manually shifting down gives you the indication you're in the right gear, but looking at the tach, & the speedo, you know different. What a POS!)
Anyone want a 07 CPO'd 328xi?
