Huh? No such lag with my 35i - apart from your post, all the complaints have been from 28i owners. If you idle at below 1k rpm, there's a slight delay of a fraction of a second, but nothing like what the 28i drivers experience. And if you heel-toe or use both feet, that's not a problem either.

The only problem I have is the traction control often killing the acceleration if going from low speed to high speed (i.e. passing, or the $*@% Honda finally turning off on a side road). Which is downright dangerous, and why I turn off TC the first thing except during winter. And that's a problem 28i drivers doesn't seem to have.

That would imply that you're losing traction, if the TC kills the boost/timing/whatever. I always just leave it in "D", and I don't even think I have shifter paddles. It's more of a physical gap in the throttle mapping, just off idle.

i just started using manual shift full time cause i couldn't take it anymore. Much more predictable and fun to drive.

This also gets rid of a lot of the hesitation and then explosion when pulling out of traffic to switch lanes. And it stops the frequent and annoying double up shifting when you hit the gas while in motion. Try it.

Too damn complicated, for just wanting to drive smoothly.
Mine has a very slight hesitation, but is moving the moment I press on the gas. I have the 3.0 with a stage 2 Dinan tune. Although I would like a quicker transmission effect to throttle inputs. It is very slight, but it is there.
DS mode helps considerably & is my automatic right hand movement before a "pass" (I don't have paddle shifters)

I will say, turbo lag IS real (no matter how good the turbo), so some of the lag is turbo lag. I have had several n/a and turbo bikes & cars. Turbo lag is always noticeable.

My E93 335 manual had no turbo lag, my M235 manual has no turbo lag so because you say its turbo lag doesn't make it so. My X1 has lag but it has to do with computer programming of the transmission, I had the same lag on my 2007 X3 with a 3.0 NA engine. I had to have it reprogrammed several times at the dealer. If its "turbo" lag then why do manual transmission BMW's have no issue while automatics do?

The dealer can reprogramming it?

There's the Alpina B3 flash, but I don't know how effective it is for removing this hesitation. I really hate this, and I will find a cure, if it's possible. Seriously, it's feels unsafe, sometimes. Oh, and BTW; I tried the manual mode, (no paddles) and it's a PITA. I've got an A/T; why should I shift?

No discernible hesitation in SD. Normally, I use SD except when cruising/really slow traffic. As far as I'm concerned ... not a problem.

More bumpage. Anyone been fixed? Our X1 will be going in soon for annual oil change and I'm going to get my SA in the car and do my little tapdance on the gas pedal routine. Maybe I'll park it aimed at his little glass office when I do it. lol naw I really do like my SA but this throttle thing is just bonkers.

Not sure if you got to the bottom of this by now, but just in case, I ended up putting a Sprint Booster in: https://e84.xbimmers.com/forums/show...9&postcount=41

Thought I would share since this is one of the posts I came across when trying to figure out how to address the lag... tap dancing on the pedal LOL...
