Consumer Description

NO ACCIDENT, JUST A SAFETY ISSUE WITH ACCELERATION DELAY. TOTAL LACK OF ACCELERATION AT A STOP TO GO. THERE IS AN INHERENT LAG UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION KICKS IN AND GOES, ABOUT A HALF SECOND DELAY. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT GOOD WHEN TRYING TO GET INTO BUSY TRAFFIC WHETHER AT A LIGHT OR MERGING. I HAVE TALKED TO BMW TAMPA AND RAN A DIAGNOSTIC WITHOUT SUCCESS FOR A FIX. THEY EVEN ADMIT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS BUT BMW GERMANY GUYS THEY SAY WON'T CHANGE THEIR THINKING OR FIX THE ISSUE. IN A NUTSHELL IT'S AS IF THE FUEL DOESN'T GET TO THE INJECTORS UNTIL A .05 DELAY. THIS IS NOT SAFE, POINT BLANK. *TR
