Whew Deladude! that's a lot of process each time you drive!!
Why do all BMWs (at least the 3 previous Turbo BMW automatics I've owned) have this seemingly random and very annoying issue?
Beg to differ. I think it is a software/programming issue. It's probably not turbo lag, as when things work well, they work really well!
But other times, same driving conditions, distance, speed, temp, etc, there will be a sudden and potentially dangerous delay.
I also use Sport Indiv but have Engine at Sport Plus, transmission at Sport (not plus as that holds it too low a gear all the time)...
I've been playing with the DSC-off to see if it helps. hard to tell because the lag/delay is quite random...
