X6 3.5 hesitation
Anyone else notice a hesitation when accelerating from a stop? Actually more like a delay actually even if you floor it.

It has absolutely NOTHING to do with turbo lag. It is either the 8 speed trans or the programming of the trans. Car & Driver actually proved that on the X3, there is a 1/2 second delay between pressing the gas and the car going. Short of the horrific drag the X5/X6 have when slowing down (efficient dynamics at work), the inability for the car to take off smoothly is the worst part of this vehicle. You either go like a turtle or snap your neck - there is nothing in-between. I wish BMW would address both of these issues.

Ours has the same hesitation- I'll check into having the dealer reprogram it. Having owned turbo cars in the past I can say with no doubt that they delay is definitely not turbo lag.

Is that in sport or drive or both? I got the stage 2 on my 35i, and the lag is pretty much nonexistent for sport mode, but in drive it can get bogged down if I take my foot off the gas for some reason then push down again. |

Well the dealer couldn't find anything wrong and didn't reprogram. Will need to look into Dinan...
