Another question I've been meaning to ask you lovely people. :) My car feels lovely to drive, that is until I decide to plant my right foot the floor and give it a bit of stick!

It accelerates very well, but when I go to change gear with my foot on the clutch there seems to be a lot of vibration. As I said this only happens after accelerating hard, if I let the car coast for a second the sensation goes.

Nothing else seems to rattle etc. It doesn't really feel like engine mounts???

Any ideas?

By the way it's a 325 if that makes a difference
