Also, reading through that thread, one forum member mentions that BMW is aware of the transmission lag issue (at least on the F10) and is working on a software fix.
BMW has been aware about all of this since the introduction of the new engines and transmission in the E60 LCI in 2007. It's just characteristic of the engines and transmissions. You have to learn to make the throttle cater to your intended driving style. Either I hardly notice it anymore as I've had an N54 and an N55 over the past 4 years, or I've mastered it.

It's still a fantastic drivetrain. I think it's worth a little discomfort. Think about the first time you drove run-flat tires. How annoying was the harsh ride? And if you're still happily driving a BMW, you probably got used to it.
