Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry I'm not sure what a ECU is or how to go about resetting it. Could I trouble you to elaborate. Is ECU the electronically controlled transmission, perhaps referred to as something different in the UK. Would this topic be covered in the owner manual. Could I ask the dealer to do it? I was told that attempting any work on car myself would void the warranty.

From a standstill my new GS seems to take off very quickly most of the time and gets up to around 50 miles per hour in short order. However, when driving around 60 or so and ask it to accelerate it seem quite slow taking you to 80 mph. This is driving in normal automatic mode. Is this normal? I ask because I also seem to be experiencing occassional delay's on take off and I wonder if it might be related.

Bought a 2002 GS 300 with 9500 miles, it is still under warranty. On occassion when I press the accelerator there is a noticeable delay, then the car takes off very abruptly. The problem seemed to occur more frequently when the engine is cold. took it in for service and technician said that all GSs perform this way (it's related to electronic transmission). I have also now noticed the problem even after car has been driven. Problem is more of occassional than consistent. If I take it in to the dealer again I'll bet $1 it won't repeat the problem on test drive. Tech also said with plenty time left on warranty just continue to drive and if it is a real problem it will get worse then bring it back in. After dropping $35K plus I want this car to perform flawlessly. Has anyone had a similar problem? Am I going to regret not getting the 5 series beamer instead
