problem #1

Jun 162020

i3 2-cyl

  • 20,000 miles
On a freeway driving around 65mph front car came to sudden stop so applied brakes at full strength but car continued at the same speed for few seconds and then brakes took effect but it was too late by then. There seems to be some sort of lag between when brake pedal pressed and actually breaks get applied to slow down vehicle. All 4 tires are new and servicing done 4 months back.
