The 83 is sluggush when cold as well until the turbo kicks in, or it gets warm. I just keep it in 1st and put my foot on the floor until i get the end of my street and its fine by then. Its a diesel thing, live it learn it, love it.




What part of Michigan are you in?

Say what!!!!

As 240Joe said if you really want to help these cars feed them some cetane booster of some sort. If like me, and you have access to hi cetane fuel you will probably laugh at what these guys are talking about. I am lucky to have an MFA fuel center near by that sells B2 49 cetane fuel, and my 240D is pretty snappy compared to others I have seen on the road.
