Trust me I know, almost got rear ended. Glad the guy approaching behind me had good brakes. He also had a big middle finger. Dam you BMW. Fix this.
People that say things like that either can't drive and shouldn't be on the road or are idiots.

You mean to tell me, unless your car behaves and responds like E92 M3 then it's no good? What about all those Kia and Hundai or even Lexus SUVs that are on the road? I'm sure those don't have better throttle response.

Now practice driving so you don't get killed you silly mug.
Sorry, unless you have experienced it, you can't begin to understand the issue. I had this "feature" on my F10 535 and it was downright dangerous. I would pull out to make a pass, floor it, and literally be able to count "one thousand one, one thousand two" before ANY acceleration happened. The car would then downshift three gears, and accelerate like a ba out of hell.

Part throttle was worse. Same one thousand two before glacial acceleration with only a single gear kick down.

So stop being a troll and discussing things you don't know anything about.
