BMW 320D E46

Hello,

I am the owner of a 5 months old BMW 320d E46 with manual gear box. I notice
a slight problem when doing low revs and then accelerating

When I drive at 1800 revs and acceleratate to 2000revs or more I feel a
slight hesitation, you can compare the feeling with the feeling you have
when you drive a car with an automatic gear-box when its changes gear. Above
2000 revs it drives great.

Maybe this feeling is normal for a Turbodiesel Car ? Maybe I can't expect
after driving a non-diesel car for 13 years that a diesel is as smooth as a
non diesel car?

Kind Regards
Koen

Hi Koen,

There is a zone with turbo-lag. It could be you that you are in a too
high a gear, downshift and have more revs.

There used to be a problem with a faulty sensor, maybe you could ask
your dealer to have a look at it.
