hi there ive got a 2006 e90 manual gearbox 2.0 diesel, its done around 95,000 miles and sometimes when trying to pull away it starts juddering, its so intermittent that when I take into a garage they don't see the problem.......my brother kept saying it was me till it happened to him one morning. it can come and go as quick as turning a corner.......it usualy happens when im sitting in traffic and about to pull off , the car just judders as if im not applying enough revs......

any one had this happen?

Yep, very common issue, Stringy has just had his 318D back from having a new clutch/flywheel/release bearing under warranrty & my 320D is booked in for next wednesday for it have the same issue looked at, theres an upgraded clutch/DMF kit available now which cures the issue.

Not what you'll be wanting to hear really with an 06 car & 95k as it'll not be under warranty unless you've took out additional cover or just bought it from a dealer! But at that miles they might put it down to wear & tear anyway

thanks for the reply......ill possibly wait then till it needs a clutch replacement , as it doesn't do it too often, but when it does it lets me know lol....

Yeah I had the same issues mate, when it was cold or when I'd been driving in traffic for a while. Other times it would be ok, BMW found the flywheel bearing had gone and cover my clutch in grease.

Mines is the same!

Just have to grab the clutch quickly, if you try drive normally it just judders

Just means i do f1 starts all the time

Removing the clutch delay valve will take away a lot of clutch judder as it makes the operation more smooth.

Is there a guide for removing the clutch delay valve?
Cheers
