at all speed ranges and all gears....no hesitation at all! Hope you're on 89 plus octane
and preferably 91 or better. Check the computer
readout and see if dsc is really working properly.
Has anyone experienced their 2.3 engine bog when suddenly flooring the engine. Every now and then my engine seems to completely bog momentarily before accelerating. Any advice, similar experience?

Also, I have noticed that at highway speeds car accelerates extremely poorly. A matter of fact I think my fiancee's 318ti performs identically on the highway. In retrospect I think my old Z3 1.9 performed very similarly despite having considerably less power. Again, has anyone had similar experiences or advice?
Thanks- Joe
