When the turbo is not spooled, you can imagine this car being no different than a big heavy car with a 2.0 engine. In other words slow. It takes half a second for the turbo to spool. That could feel like an eternity for people not used to it.

This has been discussed in several BMW threads already and has nothing to do with the turbo or turbo "lag". It doesn't exist on manual BMW's and I had the same issue on a 2007 BMW X3 with a non turbo 3.0 issue which went to BMW twice to be reprogrammed.
