I have a 95 325i white. Good lookin ride, but I've encountered several problems after purchasing from friend. A lot had been done to it under their ownership all by a reputable BMW mechanic. I have continued to take it there because I have little cofidence in my ability to service her myself.
Her transmission is cantankerous at best. It takes about 7 or 8 seconds for reverse to engage after shifting, but otherwise seems to operate normally.
The first problem i'd like advice on is sluggish acceleration. This problem has increasingly worsened in the last two months. It first became apparent on warm days when accelerating from a full stop. It felt like it was sputtering although there was really no sputtering noise present. As of today, the problem appears in first and second gear intermittantly regardless of the outside temp or engine temp. When the pedal is depressed more fully, the hestitation only last a second or two, then she accellerates fine.
I have read some posts which lead me in the direction of dirty ICV or pehaps MAF:conf. Not sure and would appreciate any input before i dismantle anything. Thanks in advance.
