I have been having a few issues with my new 118i recently (1 month old). It suffers from an occasional cough or hiccup and feels like the power has been turned off and on again within 0.5 seconds. It feels very severe and quick shocking. You think that the car has died but almost immediately it seems to recover.
I am very frustrated with this. It has been into the dealer and naturally they haven't found anything wrong with the car. The 'fault' happened twice this week, once whilst cruising at 70mph in 6th gear and tonight whilst corning in 3rd gear at 30mph.
Has anyone had or heard of the same issue? Could it be related to using 91RON petrol? I am so frustrated that my new BMW is behaving like this that I almost don't want to drive it. Please help!
