1 week of owning 2006 323i problems... =S

vanondemand · 02-25-2011, 06:11 PM

its still pretty much brand new with only 31,000 KM on it

so today i was driving, pulling into a parking lot, i noticed that my cars power was like surging putting pressure into my gas pedal would like jolt and slow down etc. then when I pulled over my car started shaking

no warning lights turned on, I turned off my car and restarted it and it worked fine.

Also is it normal for my RPM gauge to not sit still it like moves up and down ever so slightly but not erratically when im at a full stop. And also when driving normally the car seems underpowered until i push it a little harder.

my car still has warranty left, but what could be wrong

I'd say your best bet is to take it into the dealer if its still under warranty. Let them take a look at it and hopefully fix anything wrong with it.

Maybe you could also try using a fuel system cleaner like Techron..
