I'm not sure what you beg to differ about? We agree on the problem being in the software.
Something else I would suggest is being more deliberate and consistent with your throttle input. I don't know how any of you drive, but I've noticed this delay happens more if you jab the throttle or have a couple "false starts" before committing to pulling onto a road. Try to roll onto the throttle with a steady and firm input. This is just a theory but I think the delay is a result of the transmission not being able to decide what gear to be in based on the throttle input being received.

Yes, I agree that it's the transmission adaptation that's messing things up.
Driving situations vary and there are times where you really need the sudden acceleration and can't afford to take time to roll onto the throttle. That is the scary part with this inconsistent acceleration.
My previous BMW had this and it was freakin annoying and frustrating. Turning off the DSC and driving it hard does seem to help, but it shouldn't be that way (this is my 4th BMW, and only the previous one had this issue).
