About three weeks ago, I noticed a possible very slight "twitch" in the auto when driving slow as in below 25 mph.

Going up-hill and the box was a little confused.

A week afterwards I knew it was something but what ? The days after it became apparent that taking right hand corners I apeard to loose drive momentarily which seemed very strange!!

This made me take the car off the road and use the Baur for a bit.

Now this morning at 06.00 on the way for gas, the power loss was within 1/2 mile and I turned back home.

Any help please guy`s , and I really must say that this box was 100% and felt so good to drive.

There has never been any "clunking" or bad gear changes and all things were 100% until now.

There are no warning lights etc on the dash and the engine is really good.
Do you think the coil pack is on it`s way out ?

I had a 330 se box go on me in the last 18 months and this was totally different to this. (BMW care, Pudsey £1800)

I really need the help from here to solve this ....but please can you give me a local BMW indie (not BMW Care) who may help me ?
Or, is there anyone with a code reader that could help me out ?
I will take her out in the morning so are there any test you think I should carry out?

I have a car with new "boots" and cant drive it .



Many Many Thanks :cry: :cry:

Now she went straight through the test today with only a leak issue .
The brakes are 100% and the engine is 100% also but all is still not well.
When driven in manual it is so much better.

Thoughts please.

Cheers Mart.
