Man Stan,
sounds like you got a real Friday afternoon car!!
What dealership is giving you this crap service? I use Forsdicks Tygervalley and they have always been happy to assist me with any problems.
The fact that you bought a black car and then received a dark grey car would already have put me off and I wouldn't have accepted this!

The E90 does have a minor shudder on the clutch on hard take-offs as the clutch bites for traction on the pressure plate, but should not happen on normal take-offs
The flat-spot on the 320i I can only guess as being the time between the double vanos system kicking over, but should not be noticeable (not like in the old Honda V-tec motors).

My recommendation would be to take the car to a different dealership and get a second opinion. Then also request a trade-in at the other dealership. I feel sorry for the next bloke then buying that car!!

Good luck!
