Hope you guys can help: 1) "Loose" steering - all the bushes have been changed (ctrl arm, ball joints, steering coupling joint) but the steering has a lot of freeplay at rest and feels loose at moderate speeds (i.e. 90 kmh plus), doesnt inspire confidence in high speed driving. What else could need attention? The steering rack? track rods?  2) Engine pickup/performance - engine was "tuned", injector flushed, tappets adjusted. But accelerating the car to the usual speed of 80kmh is laborious and really noisy as I need to rev to 4-5K rpm plus to get going up to 80-90 kmh. Is this normal for this car (w auto)? I hope not! Is this a problem with the auto transmission? This is really annoying me as this car doesnt feel performance at all...(even compared to my humble 320i E90). Any ideas? :dontknow:</p></blockquote><p></p>
