I drive in Eco Pro and shift to DS to take over ppl all the time, it's a personally reasonable expectation. Keep us informed OP...seems like an engine+drivetrain issue, but might be relevant to 335i owners Down the pike.

True, although white is the most popular regardless of brand or styling of the car - including slab-sided vehicles.
White's may have more to do with its surprising ability to hide the fact the vehicle is dirty. It is also a safe, conservative choice. |

I had the drivetrain malfunction last night on my 2 day old 328i. I turned the car off then back on and everything was fine. Not to worried about it, if anything really bad happens BMW will fix it since they are aware of the problem.

OP my guess is that you had detonation due to using 89 octane fuel.
Really you should run the highest octane gas possible, and preferably only tier 1 fuel. |

Well the owners manual and also written on the gas tank that the recommended octane is 89 or higher. So I don't understand how using what's recommended can cause a problem!!??
