My daily driver a BMW 320d touring is in the main dealer for clutch judder, again, it was fitted with a new modified fluid flywheel and clutch back in March but the judder has returned.
Anyway they has given me a 318i Coupe to run around in.
It's dangerous, really it is.
It looks the business, coupe, massive 19 inch wheels, MSport body kit, leather, HID's, pro sat nav etc.
But with only 140 BHP and no torque, it's incapable of passing almost anything!
On my normal route to work came up behind a Toyota compact thingie, in my full fat 320d with over 180 BHP and loads of torque it would have been a formality to safely overtake...in the 318i it never happened! Of course in the Maser different ball game again!
They really, really, should not be allowed to put such a puny engine in such a big car!
