Have you received reports of BMW 3 Series coupes lacking traction? Last week in Scotland my 335d completely failed to hold the road on a hill covered in compacted snow with fresh snow on top and had to be hauled out on a tow truck. Switching on/off Dynamic Traction Control made no difference. When I called my local service agent they pretty much said that rear wheel drive cars didn't like snow and ice and there was nothing that could be done. What really worries me is that the car lacked traction on slushy roads too and my wife and I have completely lost faith in its abilities and its safety. We can't afford to change the car as it is only 17 months into a 48 month PCP and RBS Freeway want nearly £30,000 to settle, which is far more than it is worth. Do you think I could sue BMW / the finance company for supplying a car that is unfit for the purpose for which it was sold? I saw old Puntos, two Ford Focuses, a VW Passat, etc all climb the hill with little or no problems.
