I`ve finally picked the car up and driven 60 miles home. Took another 15 to a mates house and then back home.
First thing, fuelled up....could only fill to halfway before it started clicking...odd.
Anyway, the drive. Set seat up, sorted climate, found radio station and off to go.
I found the throttle painfully unresponsive...and I mean it was taking 2 seconds or so to respond. That was in C, S and in M. Pulling out to overtake on the motorway was a no no cos by the time it responded a car would be in my boot . Ok, not a problem, I assume it`s like the M3 I had....it has to "learn" a new style of driving (previous owner was a doctor).
When I kicked down, it threw up an ESP and tyre pressure monitor warning! When it did that on the 2nd test drive, the garage owner checked the tyres and the rears were over 40psi so he let air out and reset it and said it would be ok.....so, not sure what`s going on there.
Anyway, after an hour at my mates house I left.....and......the car felt completely different. Left it in C and it pulled much better than the drive home so, so far it seems fine. I`ll have to "teach" it what I want and when I want it now haha.
