On the motorway today my 320 had a strange jolt :mad:

best way i can describe it is it cut out for a fraction of a second then was fine, when it did the economy gauge went upto it's stop as it usually does on overrun...... not sure if thats a clue or not, all other gauges were reading normal and the temp was a little over the 1/4 mark.

i was on light throttle at the time cruising at about 65 in traffic.

Sounds like the injection cut for a short while. Could have just been a glitch in the DME relay or something similar.
Wouldn't worry about it if it's just a one off. Start worrying when it starts happening frequently.

And what would happen if it was a frequent thing, what would need doing, cause mine has started doing that sort of frequently....
