    What do you mean coming in and out?

    The in car audio is not the best, you're right. Best plan is to get a Sony "sound on top" amp.

    Look on www.bmwland.co.uk for more info.

    Is it whistling?

    I dont really notice any turbo kick in mine either - you aren't meant to - its a smooth refined cruiser.

    Turbo should work in every gear surely?

    How do you know it rarely works in first? FWIW - the turbo has no idea what gear you're in, so it's either working - or it's not.

    The list of possibilities is quite long.........

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Could well be a faulty airflow meter. I had this issue on a 320d I was driving, it felt like a Micra until it was rectified.

    Seconded, Faulty MAF makes the ECU think that theres too much, or too little air coming in, hence it pumps in, too little or too much fuel. Resulting in jumpy acceleration and rough idling from startup.

    Could also be a sticky turbo, but MAF is a common one.
