Re: F30 D3 performance

I think we’re talking about different things here . I’m not talking about the dripping of gears or shift speeds . I’m saying car in park even and tap the throttle pedal and the 330d and 430d appear to rev more instantly with no delay

Re: F30 D3 performance

Your f31 should be identical to my car , if I change the settings from comfort to sport there is a noticeable difference in throttle response , however the 30d I drove was sharper more sudden /urgent . Not as fast no but a fast stab of the throttle pedal in the 30d had the car surging forward wherea...

Re: F30 D3 performance

I know what you mean about pedal travel and the lockdown button under the pedal which if possible will drop a gear to allow faster overtaking . This however feels so noticeable even in park just tapping the throttle of the 30d creates an instant rev rather than a softer gentle increase in revs in th...

Re: F30 D3

Sent the car in for my annual oil change , they did some tests on the dpf and all is ok. But the pressure sensor they said was behaving oddly changing pressures and readings etc so they have ordered a new one . Hopefully it’s all ok after 😊

Re: F30 D3

You think the Dpf could be cracked ? I have seen many dpf,s off cars and some that were blocked and some that were cracked ! I just kind of thought that with these cars and the lack of mufflers or back box it allows a little more fumes to Escape hence the tips being dirty ...

Re: F30 D3

Yep all the time . Damp cloth,,,make sure not grit . That’s good to know it’s not only my car so. I asked Bmw but they said we’re not sure as the it’s a rare car. It’s dirtier than my f30 330d was . Those exhaust pipes would stay spotless. What colour is your car? Mine is white and I drove an 8 hou...
