low speed assist causing throttle lag??

so i picked up my dct car and i agree the throttle lag is an issue unless you punch the car. I wonder if the "low speed assist' is causing the issue? Has anyone raised the issue yet with their dealer?

Disclaimer: the DCT is still incredible.....

Your logic make sense but we just have to wait and see.

so are people reporting this problem to the dealers? I would think this is very important.

Search! This topic has been discussed extensively. The car does feel a bit odd but it definitely does not make it slow nor slower. It is not the low speed assist. That is only active when you tap the pedal and then let go. You can make it go as fast as you want (almost) just push the pedal further and faster. If you really want even faster than that use LC.

I realize this has been discussed before, I was just introducing the idea of the "low speed assist" as the issue. I agree, if you mash the pedal it does not really have a lag, which is why I think the "low speed" assist setting could be the issue here. I think the computer settings on the low speed assist need to be tweaked by BMW.
