• diesel drive 14 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  I have recently brought a BMW 530d(2002) automatic with 76000 miles on the clock-I have never driven a diesel or an automatic before. The car is fantastic to drive,however on pressure on the accelerator(not neceesary full pressure) it kind of propels forwards with a sudden thrust-as if it has been given a massive push from behind.Is this how it is meant to be and represents diesel/automatic drive or is there something I need to be worried about?

I find the changing down from 4 to 3 and 3 to 2 very jerky at times as if I was changing down, in manual, to a lower gear than intended.Citroen tell me the car is in standard condition but I find it hard to believe that such a less than smooth change down can be acceptable.
