I just purchased a '99 9-3SE 5-dr auto off lease and am concerned about several discoveries. I'm mostly concerned about the tendency for the wheels to slip, jump around, or otherwise lose traction suddently, particularly when accelerating hard and turning. It's an uncomfortable feeling that I haven't experienced in much lesser cars. Also, the headlamps do not seem particularly bright... in fact, the strength of the illumination seems to be the same as day time running lights... is this supposed to be? Finally, there is a persistant rattle from the rear seat and I suspect it has something to do with the joints holding the fold down seats. Any and all observations around these issues would be much appreciated.
