Acceleration issue
I have noticed an intermittent issue where my car seems to lack acceleration. my foot will be 3/4 of the way to the floor in 2nd gear but the RPM is only rising slowly. It is still smooth and seems to last a few seconds until I change gear. then its fine. Like I'm in a higher gear but definitely I'm in second.
any ideas? |

The OP stated this to be an intermittent issue, possibly a transmission issue, not a continual poor performance issue. Besides, my son has a 116i and it doesn't have "sluggish acceleration" unless it's in EcoPro mode. Then again, so would a 340i.

Maybe it's in limp mode. My 335i did the same thing an no lights popped up on my dash or nav screen. Dealer pulled up the code and replaced the auxillary fan (?)

Did you remember to release the handbrake? I was driving around the other day and got a drive-train malfunction only to realize the handbrake had been engaged the whole time.
