Hi

Need a bit of advise from those with more knowledge than myself on these things..........appreciate any help anyone can give.

I recently bought a 91 525i SE auto in immaculate condition, 96K, with full service history from a local dealer. It has a 3 month warranty.

It always starts "on the button", and goes well enough (although its not what i would call....very fast....its certainly no Jag!), but im starting to wonder about the transmission.

A lot of the time if I put my foot down hard-ish, on pulling away, on the change from first to second, there is what appears to sound like a momentary "slip". Its only a fraction of a second, and it DOESNT do it when i stick my foot down gently. All of the other gear changes sound and change normally.

Do you think that this sounds like a cause for concern?
Or is this normal?

Are there any easy "tests" i could try out to see if my transmission is ok?

thanks for any help!
