This issue has been around for ages with other BMWs.
This is a good tip, even in sport modes. Its as if the car assumes sharp throttle input from a stop is a mistake that can cause a crash so it adds this large delay to the car's response to allow for a correction before take off. At least that is my best guess as to why the car behaves this way. I believe its happening by design and isn't a result of turbo lag or some other mechanical flaw.
