Pedal feel of 28i engine in X3 vs 128i
I recently picked up a 128i 'vert, and comparing that with my X3 2.8i, the pedal feel is very different; the much discussed lag that is present in the X3 is not evident in the 128i.
Is this due to the drive by wire feature of the X3?

OK I didn't know if the 128 was or not. Then if they both are DBW, BMW needs to come out with a programming fix for the X3 because that lag is very annoying!!

If that's true, do you think they will have some sort of recall for '11 X3's to update the software?

I haven't heard of any kind of recall for the throttle issue. I picked up my 2012 Oct 31st and I have never noticed the lag issue everyone talks about.

Mine was built in Jan and it definitely has it - though my wife has no idea what I'm talking about.
IF there is a fix, I wouldn't expect a recall. It'll just be a running software update that would get done during a service visit. Some people seem to notice more than others, especially if the x3 isn't your daily driver. |

This is one of the mpg tactics BMW put in...also it helps from rear-ending a slow moving vehicle before you in a stop light. |
