I have been told that the complaint was found legit by BMW and that they were working on a fix 3 months ago. I too am thouroughly annoyed by this lag. I have not even driven the car now for 4 months and have been driving my 2007 335i which is a lot more fun without annoying tranny issues.

By the way, with my two children in the back seat, I approached an intersection with a dump truck coming towards me. I had enough time to make the turn left. I coasted up into the intersection and applied the gas only to have absolutely no response! The dump truck slammed on his brakes and my tranny finally engaged. This scared the crap out of me! This is the worst event, but there have been many other close calls.
