I thought that I would start a new topic given mavg1986 response to my note on the topic "Autocar shocking velar review"
In that earlier topic someone asked if anyone had tested their 240d 0-60 acceleration time. Well I now have, and the result was very similar to the Autocar figure of 9.3 seconds rather than the quoted 6.8 seconds. Now I know that it is difficult to replicate published figures and we could discuss exactly how level the ground is and atmospheric pressure differences, etc. but a difference of 2.5seconds is nothing short of scandalous in my opinion and can be no way down to minor differences like this. My earlier note also mentions that I had a loan 240d and this also produced a 9 second 0-60. So probably not an isolated case.
Mavg1986 suggests that this may be grounds for rejection. Any lawyers out there? Anyone else care to test their car particularly any 240d models
