 New 325Ci, steptronic loaded.  Less 
than 2,000 miles car hesitates on 
acceleration.  The car revs wildly 
then slowly lurches forward.  Dealer 
and BMW of NA played DUMB. I produced 
documentation found on message 
boards.  A safety bulletin SIB 2407
03.  BMW tells dealers to "replace the 
transmission on a customer complaint 
basis only"? Not how makers of "The 
Ultimate Driving Machine" should treat 
customers.  NHTSA defect investigation 
underway as of Feb 04.  I have lost 
all confidence in my dealer and BMW 
for not contacting me.
