Thanks guys. I've never understood why BMW program this lag into their cars.
It often gets me on my previous X2 nonM35i (and on my previous E90 335i), when I try to merge into traffic...maybe even more than when getting off the mark.

I'd pay good money to some after-market tuner who could just get rid of this. The BMS pedal tuner did help in some situations, but not all.

My hesitation with considering the M35i is the bumpiness, even on highways (which I know could be remedied through smaller wheels/ larger sidewalls) but that would kinda defeat the looks of the car

And this particular M35i is alpine white (non metallic)... But does have the camera based cruise control, and black leather and Harman Kardon stereo (all must-haves for me).
