Thread: Has anyone contacted BMW regarding 29.2 and lag?

Maybe ISTA/P includes a production database... however, my foreman told me that this option is not available for MSD81 cars (mine is...

NRG, when you say "lurching" are you referring to an almost bucking kind of thing. Like a rookie driving a clutch? or do you mean a lull in acceleration?

I have been on this forum for a long time. From the beginning actually. I am having long starts again, I'm on my third HPFP. I was driving home from turkey dinner last night and going down my favorite stretch of road to do a little spirited driving, I noticed something. I was probably in third or fourth gear ( I have a 6 sp manual) and needless to say It was all the way to the floor. As the rpms started to climb to around 3 or 4 k, I felt...

I don't really care much about 1400-2500 lag (even though my car does pretty well down there, doesn't wait until 3k like people talk about here). Ok, i misunderstood you. I feel no shift delays. I tried the 3rd to 4th just now, and i don't feel a delay. Actually i didn't feel shift delays on my laggy 2008 335i either, it was just...
