I'd imagine it has a lot to do with the AT. Those gears are just so damn short 1-3rd. Probably doesn't make full boost until 2nd gear, then before it can even hook up in 2nd, it goes into 3rd and bites hard. You can see it breaking traction a bit, but in a very "composed" fashion. Great job on BMW and the ZF8AT, I think it's a great option for those who like to bang on the paddles and do some drag racing. It's almost as good as a dual clutch, without the long term fears of owning a dual clutch equipped vehicle.
