Power loss

Evil E90 · 06-27-2009, 04:54 PM

I picked up my 06 330i today. I had them fix the squeaky rear brakes. They also updated the software again and did that seat mat sensor recall. On my way home the car felt like it lost some power. It wasn't a gradual loss. It just started to happen after passing an intersection. I never had to push the gas all the way. Now I have to in second gear. I have had my car since Oct and I know my car. It doesn't feel right anymore. I'm going to take it to the dealer on Monday. I can't even install my Injen intake I just bought. If I put it on the dealer will say that's why it's losing power. Well I can at least replace my chrome grilles with black ones. Has anyone had this power loss experience?

I am experiencing a power loss in my 330i but I have not had any software updates. I was suspecting bad gas so I switched from Shell V-Power to Chevron and it seemed to get a little better but not back to what it was. How many miles do you have on your car? im at 113k.
