I think somone explicitly confirmed this, but can't recall who.

By the way, does the problem affect the (older, pre-ED) 318i? If not, why not? Isn't it the same engine, tuned down? If it doesn't then maybe it is a software issue?
I am now having a problem with my 'new\ ie ED-engined, 318i:

So, 3 questions:

1. Did nobody ever have the 320i problem in their 318i?

2. Since the ED engine is 'new', and (I believe) features a new injector system, should we not be able to say - with some degree of confidence - that the ED cars will not have this problem?

3. Is a shaking gear stick a symptom of the problem? Do any of you guys have a shaking gear stick?
