It works if you hit off button before your start it as well.

A lot of process? My default drive mode is sport individual so I press one button to turn dsc off when I start the car, and hitting the shifter into M/S is hardly a process - just about as burdensome as using turn signals I would say. Besides all my previous cars were manual so I quite enjoy leveraging all the ways to control the transmission and gear selection. I'll use M/S to avoid riding the brakes on long downhills too!

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.

Agree that a smooth consistent pedal push results in a better response, but I find that when I urgently need a little boost, eg to merge into another lane, that's when I feel the 'delay'.... But again it doesn't always happen like that. Sometimes with the same light but sudden throttle press it responds instantly!

OP were you ever able to solve this? I have the same problem and have tried sport mode, M/S, and turning of DSC (short press) and a combo of all of the above, to no avail. I find this problem particularly bad when going from a start. Think trying to turn out onto a busy street and the car rolling forward slowly taking a couple seconds to kick in and accelerate. It’s usually always when I’m going from a stop and need to GO! It’s very frustrating and frankly dangerous.

Sorry for being dumb but what does that mean to flash xhp?

Is there also a difference with the XHP with the X3 in sport mode? or is the difference more perceptible in other modes.

I’m surprised that no one has mentioned a Throttle Response Unit.
I have the Pedal Commander on my 2018 X3, there are quite a few of them out there. Regardless of which unit you buy , the difference is night and day. Someone in the forum has the dahler unit which also has a valet and anti theft setting on it .
The car Accelerates completely different , depending on which setting you have it on It can actually be to to responsive.
If you want to get rid of your throttle lag , I recommend you look into these .
The difference Is crazy .

Maybe its diffrent for the 30i, but the M40i changes the throttle mapping based on which driving mode you are in.

I thought he was talking about acceleration out of the hole . The throttle response units do change your shift points as they get you to the speed faster for your transmission to shift into a higher gear .

BeyondAddiction wrote

I'm talking about acceleration out of the hole as well. When slowing to a stop, say at a stop sign, or turning lane, if I transition from the stop to start moving again too quickly, there was a significant lag before the car would actually accelerate. It felt like huge turbo lag, which we know isn't the case with a stock turbo B58, but you could see even the RPMs weren't going up like they should vs the peddle position. This would occur even in sport modes. It was a huge hesitation and would make for a very awkward take off because I would just keep pushing the gas further down until it would finally move, but it would be an over acceleration then at that point.

This wouldn't happen as bad in say Eco Pro mode though because there was already a big delay in the peddle anyways in that mode. It was less jerky, but still a slower take off, which wasn't what I was wanting.

Once I got the xHP transmission tune, it fixed a lot of that and now the only hesitation I notice in sport mode, is the actual turbo lag when I'm lower in the RPMs, which is pretty small on a stock B58.

So, I could be wrong, but I don't believe your throttle response units would change that fact much at least on the M40i.

Just a heads up too, the Pedal Commander is not going to change your shift points. You just happen to be accelerating more with less throttle input and getting to your shift points faster during partial throttle, but that's it. They aren't going to change your shift points or make you faster in any way. It's the same speeds you were going before, just requires [...]

BeyondAddiction wrote

It's even more of a difference in M/S mode

X3rd Time Is a Charm wrote

Sound like you know what you’re talking about .
Not sure why you are asking questions when you already have the answers .
The throttle response units do remove that lag as it’s tricking the electronics .
Have you tried one ?

30i , 40i it doesn’t matter all of your shift points change with the different modes. Sport , comfort and Eco

BeyondAddiction wrote

Did you mean to quote me on that? Because I was responding to a question about xHP and how it feels.

And yes, I agree Sport, Comfort, and Eco change shift points, but that's stock and completely seperate from a Pedal Commander.

Here is the link to Pedal Commander's website for you to review. It is a Throttle Response Controller, it does not change your shift points, only where your pedal position is for the already built in programmed shift points.

No , my response was to the OP .
You’re the one that jumped on my suggestion . I have the Pedal Commander, I don’t need to read about it
