not sure where this goes so ill try here.
i got an 06 330xi auto and when i turn the ac on its hesitant and slugging on take off and acceleration. if i goe to accel it wont downshift and just bogs down and slowly picks up unless i floor it and then it will downshift. if i push the ac button to turn it off it goes back to normal and go to accel it takes off like a rocket. its as if the ac compressor is robbing a ton of power from the car. any ideas??

My car does something similar. From what I've heard, it's normal.

welli guess it normal for these cars. ive had lots of cars but none were this bad even my old 01 330i didnt do it this bad, then again i found that car had alot more pep than this one. i knew ac robbed power but this seemed pretty excessive to me. i guess sport mode it is then. lol thanks for the response.
