[QUOTE="Rick1, post: 747025, member: 43572"] Further to the above my car started to feel like it was again sluggish, when accelerating the gearbox seemed to hold a high gear until I put my foot hard down on the accelerator when it down shifted and took off. I did a google search and found a gearbox reset procedure, I tried this and the car is now back to normal, According to those who know, some, if not all, BMW's are fitted with "adaptive drive" where the gearbox and car "learns" your driving technique and changes the profile to suite. I have now reset to factory condition and the car is much better. The reset procedure I used was:- Turn on the ignition but do not start the car, the ignition position should be where all the warning lights are on. Press and hold the accelerator fully down for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds and while holding down the accelerator turn off the ignition Release the accelerator Wait 2 minutes with the ignition off Start the car and drive away, hopefully you will notice a difference I hope this is of help to someone who is suffering from the same issue.
