Hi all,

I'm new to this forum, but I wonder if you have any advice. I've just been given a 2001 318i es as a company car. I find it extremely underpowered. My wife's 1996 1.8 Ford Escort is quicker. I've read through some of the postings but can't find anything definitive. Any ideas will be much appreciated!!!

Sorry I think i've not explained myself well enough. I'm thinking there is something wrong with the car. I've read reviews which say it should be fairly torquey and even competes with the 325, there is no way my one would.
