well had the car for a month now,and only had it for two weeks as the wife hi-jacked it the first two:rollsmile:

now i tend to drive it like the 323i i had,but if i do it just spins while pulling off,1st,2nd and sometimes 3rd gear,
the tail end always seems to break away leaving me going side ways or snaking down the road,traction control light then flickers madly.

so it leaves me driving it like miss daisy,slow,very slow

had it on the dyno and it gets 148kw and 498nm,bmw say no software has been done on it,and even they claim that it is one strong diesel

does anybody else suffer the same?

That is a very strong STOCK 330d... IIRC, my car did 129kw 483nm stock at WRC. Where did you dyno? Is that wheel or fly figures?

Thats damn impressive there colin.., no i dont think we suffer from lack of traction and excessive amounts of power.., lol

Being a manual means you have a bit more control at lower revs, with our autos the torque convertor probably takes away that control to an extent.

did it last saturday at KAR,everybody recons it is strong for a stock car,even got me worried and went back to bmw on the monday to tell them it isnt stock

there answer was.its stock,but with a big grin:rollsmile:

am actually wondering if bmw havent upgraded the software?

or it could be built by the same guys who built upncomings 135i:fencelook::roflol:

or built on a wensday?

I am leaning towards the guys who built Devons 135i.... lol :biglol:

I cant see the pics right now, and dont recall the taillights as the black lines went by the time the first pic was posted and i have only seen the car once at night.... Is it the LCi? if not, did BMW not update software to LCi?
