Also, is it normal for the 335xi to sound like it's sputtering on initial startup in the morning? After warming up it seems to run normal.

Thanks
How old is your car? Did it clunk since they day you bought it or did it start one day? An mods, suspension in particular?

If it started on it's own it might be something to look into but unless it's pretty significant I would imagine it's not that unusual.

My car idles ok on startup but it's very jerky for the 1st minute or so after startup when in 1st and 2nd gear. I've never been in a new car that acted like this so I'm inclined to let it go since it appears to be a cold-start issue only. Probably just another piece of BMW software stupidity that they will hopefully fix in a future release.
