I'm wondering if anyone has noticed something similar with their i3. When I go over large bumps, specifically at low speed, I can feel what must be the engine rubber banding back and forth for a second or two. It's very pronounced and feels like I have a very heavy fast pendulum in the back of the car. It happens most often if I'm pulling out of a store and turn too sharp going over the edge of the curb.

Anyone?
 
So that is how I'm supposed to drive it? <GRINS>

In my case, I like to coast over bumps without power. That avoids power-induced stress and strain.

Yes, I've seen that video and some others. It's such an odd feeling - and I'm assuming all you other i3 owners feel that under the same conditions as I...?
