I told my sister to insist on getting a manual but she and my mom were in favor of an automatic. My mom thinks it "safer" because you have both hands on the wheel. You don't want to know what I think when I hear this!
all you can do is wait and see. If it doesnt get better demand a new engine + manuel gearbox

My dad was thinking about trading it in for a 118d.

I told him from the beginning to go for a diesel but my sister thought she won't drive a lot so she wouldn't need the fuel economy.
