I think what is happening is some sort of resetting or rebalancing of the torque distribution between from and back wheels. I'm just guessing, I really don't know.
So the last time it happened, I took conscious note of surrounding variables.
a) I had my foot firmly on the brake pedal.
b) I did not feel any modulation on the brake pedal.
c) The car had the Sport button depressed.
I state the above, because on previous occasions when this happened, I did not remember if my foot possibly had released some pressure off the brake pedal.
The feeling is somewhat similar the the slight "nudge" you get when putting the car from park into drive.
Anybody else experience this? Any further thoughts on what could cause it?

yup I noticed this too and turned on the camera to see if the guy behind had hit me but he was 3 ft back. I notice it does fell like someone nudged you, I didn't experience this on my X5 which was a couple of years old or on my wife's 330.
