Thanks for your response. Milage is 71,000. No major service has been done. This problem is very annoying. I know it isn't something major because it only does it in first gear. I'm having it looked at Monday. I hope I can solve the problem. It only happens when I push on the throttle hard and give it a lot of gas. I'm sure I'll get to the bottom of it. My only hope is that it doesn't cost thousands to fix. Thanks again for your input.


Hmmm.....

My '91 6spd doesn't do this. Can you share a bit more information about your '91? Mileage? Anything major done through servicing of it?

Maybe someone here that owns a 6spd 850i has the same problem I do? When I really step on the peddle hard in first gear the engines really jolts back the car back in forth like a miss timed clutch after about 2 1/2 thousand RPM. It only does this in 1st gear. I have talked to several mechanics and they said that Ferrari's and Porche's have the same problem. They tried telling me that you can't wind out 1st gear that much. I find this hard to belive or is this true? Please help! I just bought the car and this little problem in 1st gear is driving me crazy. Thanks for your input.
