Hello & Welcome  Thumbs Up!

We have a 2.2 as well, and while not fast, is not too sluggish, perhaps a good service required, Air & fuel filters can make a lot of difference.
now the 3.0....thats a different story  Roll Eyes

SmileyWelcome aboard. 4 pots do well for the weight. If you want some grunt all the big 6's cater for that. Go to a car lot & scare a salesman! Smiley

Hello and welcome, seem to be a friendly and understanding lot on here.

4 pot should be OK though, if manual you can make them go quite well if you ‘drive it’ Auto bit sluggish, need to keep the revs up – fuel consumption down!!!!

Welcome along.

I presume you have a switch for the LPG?  Does it still feel sluggish on petrol?
(Depends what you're used to - it's never going to match an equivalent BMW for pace, though)
