Thinking about it, I wouldn't be surprised if the poor throttle response is to do with the new EU emissions standards.

I don't think the engine is the problem. Rather, I think the root of the issues is the electronics that controls gear shifting response timing and how to translate gas pedal position to real throttle opening. |
in essence this isnt an actual engine/ brake issue but inherent in all b58 engines or electrical brake system? not a fan coming from an N54 |
I would not characterize this as something inherent to the B58 engine (on the contrary, it's not). It's how BMW makes it to maximize mpg and comfort. For example, the transmission shifting is a leisurely paced event in Comfort or EcoPro. It makes the shift buttery smooth in exchange for what some of us perceived as 'lack of throttle response'. If you don't like this, there are many ways we can do to improve that, including some mentioned here in this post (e.g. manual shifting, Sport shifting).
