After almost 40K miles I will say my X5 40e transmission is not exactly the quickest or most responsive. I have noticed that in Auto eDrive if I have to accelerate hard from a full stop and floor the accelerator, there is a lag and the car barely moves. If I know I need to accelerate hard off the line I avoid the lag by pre-shifting the gear stick to the left to Sport mode so the engine is idling (Auto Start/Stop disabled). Then the car accelerates off the line with no lag.
I have noticed the same and do the same. Sport mode gets you across the road quickly...
