NHTSA Complaint #11529795 — 2023 BMW X1

This report is for a 2023 BMW x1 with a dual clutch transmission. I was driving on a four lane road with a 35 mph speed limit and attempting to make a left turn. I was stopped at the light waiting the oncoming traffic to clear to make the left turn (from the left most of the two lanes). There was a significant delay in the car moving after pressing the accelerator allowing for the oncoming traffic to get within a dangerous range before the car finally moved. The car did make the left turn quickly, but the delay in initiating the turn was quite notable. The care was in the "Personal" drive mode and the auto hold function was not activated, nor was the auto off engaged when stopped. I don't use the paddle shifters and the car was in Drive. The engine was running when the accelerator was pressed. I have noticed this delay to accelerate at other times with the car is in first gear (moving from a slowed or stopped position), but I have not yet reported to the dealer (but have seen discussion of this issue on online owners forums). The delay doesn't happen when the car is moving or beyond first gear. Acceleration is not impacted once out of first gear.
