My auto BMW 328 ci has a 'dead' feel when in ordinary drive in top gear when travelling at about 70mph. Overtaking on motorways needs kickdown or selecting sports as the response is otherwise quite flat.
I also believe that the handling of the car gives a rather 'front end heavy' feel when cornering, unless the car has four passengers.

Does anyone know what to quote should as I want to pursue this matter?
Does anyone know of a BMW dealer who has carried out any remedial work under warranty?
Also - does anyone know of the changes due to the Ci's for 2002. We know that the saloon/sedan is having a facelift and some new engines (valvetronic) but so far no mention of what's next for the coupe. I thinks think that a 330 valvetronic will be available soon...
