e46 330i Individual power hesitant

Hi guys

I recently had an issue with one of my abs sensors and had it replaced with one I got from another e46 Individual. However I haven't had a chance yet to reset the computer in order to see if the sensor I put in actually works. My mechanics diagnostic tool was stolen.

An issue I recently noticed while driving is that when I push the throttle the car feels hesitant, held back, as though I was on the brakes. It feels like there is slight pressure in the wheels somehow and the wheels are not flowing freely. You notice this more when you lift off the throttle it slows down very quickly, as it would if you were on the brakes a bit. I'm not sure if this issue is related to the abs sensor...

I also hope this is not damaging anything.

Any ideas on what the problem might be?

Thank you.

could be that your brakes are binding?

if thats the case, your pads will wear fast and you may mess up the brake discs very soon. if you're driving in a straight line, does the car pull to either side at all?

btw, whats up with bmw individual? i keep hearing it, but i dont know what it is. im assuming its just a normal e46 with special accessories or colours?

Individual is basically the sport pack of the facelift.

Car goes straight as an arrow.

What about putting the car on a jack and rotating each wheel manually?

That's a very good idea actually. I'm going to TWT today. I'll do that there and see what happens.
