Really? That is news to me, I was pretty sure the problem only applied to pre-ED 320i engines. I can't claim to know to what extent the 'new' ED engine is an entirely new engine, but I'd assumed that BMW had, in the course of either renewing or tweaking the engine, fixed the problem. 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?
