Default 116i engine problem

I have a BMW 116i and it is old 1,5 years now, passed 14 000 kilometers.
From the start it has anoying grumbling sound from the engine on low
RPM (till 3000) . Untill 3000 car shakes and has a sound like diesel.
And the car loses power on low RPM. After 3000 it works without problems
when it gets power. I know it is 1600 cc 115 HP but I think that it is
weak. Dealer said 3 times that they are waiting answer from the german
factory about that problem but I still didn't receive the answer. What
should I do? They say that they changed some electrical cables but
nothing changed with the sound of engine. On low RPM it works louder
than diesel! I bought gasoline engine because I didn't want noise and it
works awful on low RPM. Car spends 11 liters/100 kilometers . I am in
Croatia, Europe.

Owners of 116i, does anyone has problem like this? What do you think
that is the problem?

Thank you

Antonio

I don't get it, how can a car be considered "old" if it is *only* 1,5
years old and has 14,000 kilometer? You want old, I drive a 1990 E34
535i, 5spd with 108,000 miles.

Do you have another dealer near you? If so, try them.

You're right, 1990 is NOT old. However, the OP called his car "old" and
its *only* 1,5 years old with 14,000 kilometer! Vey!

I'd say it is just a language thing and 'old' and '1,5 years' would be
transposed for English as opposed to his native language. Only wish I had
as good a command of any foreign language. ;-)
