I felt the bang again yesterday

[Slalom]

Well I sure am glad that I am not the only one who feels the earth move for them when accelerating from a roll. I was going to take mine in but it is intermittent. I can never predict when it will happen - cold vs warm, turning vs straight etc.

My E70 is scheduled for production next week, I will advise them to take care of it when I have the new car.

No clue here. Next car, L...get a freakin manual trans.
There are no "bangs", other than the rear tars breaking loose and
a little rear axle hop.
BR,mD

Axle hop with 225hp and 214 lb/ft tq on a 4600 lb SAV? Wow that's new.

The last time I experienced it was in my teacher's VW Golf 1.8T which he had a new software chip that modified the turbo boost and timing and such. If you floor it in 1st gear even with a normal clutch drop, the front wheels just skip and spin..........kinda scary since I didn't expect that coming. And trust me, I dont get scared/impressed that easily in cars. That experience was like (I also drove stick for the first time on that car, but of course, not mad or crazy in anyway)

I picked it up and on the way home could hear the whistle sound as before but no BANG yet.

Of course it didn't happen with the tech in the car

Ask them about the software upgrade, it did work for me for a while. It also improved the shifting, which got much smoother.

Yo Matt,
I wasn't referring to an X5 or, X3.

L had commented that she would be in mkt for a replacement to
her current X5 and, was looking at other cars, BMW included.

It was, as they say, a figure of speech.

I thought she was using here Seiko.

Yes L, get a manual transmission. You can hardly go wrong with them.

Matt, Jes' poking at you.

I think L would look outstanding in an M6 CaBreeOh, myself.

I can't let the 6 bug bite me...I can't...I can't. There was a nice black 650 coupe (I don't like the vert). I wanted to take it for a spin so bad but I know there will be no going back. I told my salesguy that he is under no circumstances to give me keys for a 6. He said he absolutely will, and he'll do the paperwork while I'm out.

Hey Blue...I'm close enough to come out there and kick your sorry ass...
