[QUOTE="E46Fanatic, post: 264512, member: 81"] The discrepancy in experience may boil down to a tighter engine when new. I did find that the E90 325i sports which JPB and myself test drove in its maiden test drive journey (30+ kms on the ODO), was a bit tight and was less reluctant to go from the start but it wasn't so bad that I would complain about it. The thing is when I got my car even off the showroom with ~100kms, I didn't experience this. Perhaps manufacturing tolerances or the bigger wheels of the sports? You're welcome to ride in my car if you do ever make it down to KL for an E90 meet, to gauge if the feel of the acceleration from standstill :rolleyes: . Its quite impressive for an auto box car if you ask me. [/QUOTE]
