Coasting issue

jagarundi · 11-13-2010, 11:08 AM

Hello, I'm new here and this is my first post. I recently purchased a 2003 X5 3.0. I've noticed that whenever I take my foot off the gas, at low speeds the car practically comes to a stop almost. I"ve checked my tire pressure thinking that could be a cause but that's not it. I have a two year warranty on this so I'm wondering if this should be a cause for concern.

Thanks

I have a 2001 X5 3.0 Sports Package and used to have an M3 before that. The only complaint I have about the X5 is that, to quote another member, it has an "anemic engine". It is simply a slow car, especially from zero. That said, my car has never quite done what you are describing. And I plan to finally trade it in in the spring, just because I want to be able to get something good for it.
