Have you spoken with T H Bohler [seller] about your driveability issues?

This bit just sounds like wheel scrub, my Cayman did it and my 340i does occasionally too. At full lock the front tyres kind of hop making quite a noise in the process... normal characteristic of wide low profile tyres!simono wrote: ↑Sat Jan 26, 2019 12:05 am....from a standstill if you are on some sort of steering lock , like having reversed off the drive and turning down the street, it seems like the transmission is slipping gripping slipping and jerky like traction control is messing with the the drive of each wheel ... it’s very ‘unsmooth’.
Fortunately it was a private owner who fell on some hard luck after he purchased. It was absolutely showroom condition when I bought it ... these salty roads haven’t helped it since
As already said, when changing gear sounds like PDK reset needed, but when you mention reversing and turning off the drive, if those big tyres are very cold and at very low speed it sounds like your experiencing "Ackerman effect" if that's the case nothing to worry about. Lots on here re Ackerman or just google itWing Commander wrote: ↑Sat Jan 26, 2019 6:46 amWelcome!simono wrote: ↑Sat Jan 26, 2019 12:05 am
Well it is jerky pulling out of junctions between 1st and second, almost like it wants to get into 2nd too quickly, then lurches and from a standstill if you are on some sort of steering lock , like having reversed off the drive and turning down the street, it seems like the transmission is slipping gripping slipping and jerky like traction control is messing with the the drive of each wheel ... it’s very ‘unsmooth’.
I wonder if this could be a transfer box issue?
I tend to think that Sports mode is the actual default setting of the car. The non Sports mode only works when you're cruising in 7th gear on a motorway. The torque of the car just isn't there otherwise. I fang the bollocks off mine in London in Sports all the time. The other half potters around without it. You should always drive the thing off the leash. Reattach it only when circumstances require! You'll enjoy it more!
