Any more updates guys?
I've been enduring the judder since I last got dealers to look at it (back in March) at which point they couldn't make the car do it....
Querys with Alpina UK at the time didnt seem to get anywhere either...
Its due in for a service so will be flagging up again as it can be really bad on hill starts as rich observed...
PS rich - the mpg meter thing happens on all BMWs!
