Hi Everyone

I have just sold my mint E53 3.0 petrol and it had a very good 5 speed auto, which provided great "off the line" surge in first/second if you gave it just a bit more than normal throttle.

Now I am about to buy a E70 3.0 Petrol and the first one I have driven - didn't have that same punch? It was the 6 speed auto of course.

So the question is - who's gone from an E53 to an E70, did you experience this - or is it just this particular car that I drove?

Cheers
