WOT question
I have a question regarding an experience I had in my E55 recently - running wide open when I hit the top of 3rd @ about 130mph and 6,000 rpm the car seemed to hold at that point for a few seconds almost like it was hitting a limiter then finally upshifted and charged on. Any ideas what could cause this?

It seems to me like it was a glitch, I would try to duplicate the problem, to determine if in fact it was a problem or not. And if it is, then you can have someone look at it.

Did it sound like this SLR at around the 1:44 mark? Long pause...

To me it actually seemed a longer pause - like literally a couple seconds. But then at that speed / acceleration it might just have seemed longer. I'll have to try it again when I can get the open road.

Yeah I know what you mean. Kinda hard to tell in the heat of the moment. If it's like the video then I wouldn't worry about it. Just normal. Maybe the sneaky reset would fix that but I don't know. If it's longer then that then you may have a problem but I can't help you there.

If you're phone has the ability you may want to video it. I would do it in a safe manner though. Just let it play and don't worry about focus and all that. Just a thought.

Hmm - I am due for Service F in about 2,500 miles and I think the trans flush is part of that. Might bring it in early.

No tune yet - I've only had the car a month but am presently considering tune, pulley & intercooler setup from Eurocharged.

Trranssmision mount? I'm going to take it to the dealer probalby next week to get a couple items checked while I still have MB warranty so I can have them look for this too - just let me know a little more specifically what this is so I don't send them looking in the wrong direction. Thanks for the help and advice!
