6th

Hello, I'm after a bit of advice. I have an f30 320i with a superchips remap, which is great. But the car does not accelerate as well in 6th as it does in any other gear. It's quite noticeable. I even timed it from 50 to a higher speed and it's quicker in 7th. I've spoken to mechanics, gearbox...

Driving in to work today and I noticed that when I put my foot down, there is a momentary drop in RPM and then it carry's on, I can slow down slightly and it does it again, I've noticed this intermittently only in 3rd gear and not that often for some time, but this morning it just started doing...

Hi Everyone, I've just bought my 6th BMW, but this is my first time on a forum like this. I've had 323ci, 330i SE and a 325i SE (E46), a 530D SE and 525i Sport Auto (E39) and now I have the F10 525D SE Auto, bought used last week. I've been lost in Volvo wilderness for a few years as my Dad...

Hi, I'm recently experiencing a strange issue. When I hard accelerate in 5th and 6th gear at around 2500 - 3000 RPMs (as the turbo is kicking in) the RPM gauge is jumping back and forth as the speed increases. I can feel the car pushing back and forth as it gets past 3000 RPM. Also I can cruise...

Just picked this car up a few days ago, 97k miles full service hist, and cost me just £1700, i previously had a 2005 saab 9-3 aero and did a straight swap . First things to do will be wheel change, and new exhaust

Hi guys and gals, Are there any locals to Portsmouth that wanna meet up for pics and maybe a bite to eat....?? Baz

I need some help some signed up hoping someone may have had the same problem I have. I get a vibrating when accelarating in 5th and 6th gear. I seems to go away when the car is warm.. Any ideas what this could be. Car is a BMW 1 series 116i Any help or advice would be appreciated

Hi, I’m a newbie to the forum, so please bear with me. Recently my motor has been losing power and anywhere between 2500 – 3000 rev’s 3rd to 6th gear? It takes forever to reach any respectable speed on the motorway. 1st and 2nd don’t seem to have the same issue, although it doesn’t seem to pick...

I'm currently still to do a brim-brim on my 330Cd to check consumption and do some real research. But I *think* when I look at the economy meter, at 70mph and < 2000 rpm, in 6th it's at about 40mpg and at ~2300 rpm, in 5th it seems to be nearer 50mpg Is this an illusion or should I have it...

Hi all, From the Midlands Members thread that is going at the moment it looks like there is some legs in getting a meet sorted out. Firstly for newbies meets aren't scary events as I though they might have been when I was a newbie, it's just a chance to get fellow forum members together - no...

Hi All I am new to this site having driven Audis for the last 4 years and converted just last week. I picked up a nice 2005 E90 330 D Sport and am loving the engaging drive. I am having one problem though that second hand dealer is struggling to resolve. The car vibrates or shudders I guess...

HI ALL Right we need to sort out a meet place which is agreeable to all us guys on the list. i think it needs to be someware between leatherhead and the dartford tunnel, a car park then a burn up :cool over to a pub would be nice. i will take a look tonight and see what i can find, but would...

just picked up a new car(ish) and it's the first car I have owned that has 6 gears. In most cars 5th is the long distance cruising\overdrive gear, is 6th gear the same i.e. use 1 to 5 and when the need arises you put it into 6th and relax on the motorway. Or do you use 1 to 4 as normal and...
