The former owner appears to be a fuddy-duddy, the car was in mint condition. It had Inspection 2 at 64,000 miles. I got the car with 75,000 miles on it, full records.I have a curious problem nobody seems to know about : the car is sluggish in a way it makes its weight felt. All my friends here drive the V8s and nobody really has and idea on the L6s. They drive my car. They say it pulls, which it does. Redlines unfailingly when called upon. Yes. But I know the E28 520i and E34 525i I drove were peppier.WELL, I figured it hadn't been properly run-in so I tried to run it in by taking it on long trips, then exercising the 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears over time using manual override.Nothing. SO, I'd Inspection 2 done at 82,000 miles.The car remained sluggish.SUDDENLY, at around 83,000 miles, the car woke up. It was responsive, raring to go, and behaved as you would expect a BMW to behave. Now, at 84,000, it's inexplicably back to what it was - tiring to drive.Any ideas?I'd be happy to answer any clarifying question.Thanks in advance!</p></blockquote><p></p>
