Seems silly to waste and update on a body shop trip. The last part regarding throttle delay has me intrigued. Probably will be a disappointment, though. |

Really looking forward to their next post when they start digging into the throttle delay they've been experiencing...

+1 This was my first thought too. Honestly cannot imagine that there will be anything useful to come out of their research, but I won't hold my breath.

roundtree, you must not have read the info in the link above it is a common complaint.
Would anyone accept brakes on a car that only provided 80% of what your foot called for? In some circumstances, the accelerator peddle can be used just as effectively as the brake peddle when avoiding accidents. Last edited by lbjgh; 03-24-2012 at 04:53 PM.. |

Had our X3 35i at dealer to install hitch and mentioned about the throttle lag/jumpy throttle. The performed a TSB on it to reprogram the throttle. It is much improved with a more linear response now. I highly recommend getting it done. The info on my paperwork says SIB 24 02 12, DME EGS Software Calibration.

I just googled the work order description and came across this thread: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=251173
It looks like its a long known issue. Quote:
