It could be starting out in 2nd or third gear. Limp mode maybe. Count the gear shifts from tale off. 2 or 3 is not enough.
It could be a number of things. Transmission, throttle body, fuel injection, etc. Have a trusty mechanic check it out, that way they don't rip you off by saying it's the transmission right off the bat.
could be a lot of things.
have your mechanic look it over.
i just bought a 1995 bmw 325i. The car is great but when i step on the gas pedal, it just does not take off, it take a good while to accelerate to the speed it should be going. A friend of mine told me its the transmission. I dont want to believe him but if thats true than its true. Please help me i need to know asap!
