Mate has a 318i (M43) that when you put your foot down in 1st it kangaroo's off down the road like a goodun.. Doesnt do it in any other gear.. Anyone have any ideas as to what it might be?

Try disconecting the air flow meter sensor wiring plug.See if that makes any difference?

Had this on a 93 e36 318i. Look for a split air pipe between the Air flow meter and the throttle body. May look okay but under hard accelaration, the engine moves, opens the split up and bingo, your driving Skippy.
