X2 M35i sluggish?

rounderman · 10-17-2021, 10:09 AM

Is there another mode than sport? just kidding. I start in sport, if I am really concerned I move the transmission to sport as well, car flies. My lease is up in May and as it stands unless someone gives me a pile of cash and we go down to 1 car for a while (not likely) I plan to buy out my lease. I really like the car. but to each his or her own. Lief is short, drive what yo like and can afford (not necessarily in that order for you youngsters out there)

mmmQuartto I hope you find the car you like

I drove one today, mainly in double sport mode and shifting manually.
Went to turn left in front of some traffic - Nothing!!!

BMW needs to get their act together - I didn't place an order...

How do you make a left turn into traffic when driving on the WRONG SIDE of the road (in OZ)?

Could it have been an adaptive drive thing?

I didn't drive it that hard, so maybe it needed to be 'reset'.

I did the same thing I'm my M4 today, not a problem at all

I've only notice a lag if I already have the wheels turned past a certain point before moving.

Turning off DSC made it much better and leads me to believe that's the culprit, so now I'm in the habit of stopping with the car somewhat diagonally pointed into a turn so that the wheels are mostly straight.

Mine takes off at full left or right cramp. It's quite exciting to hang on as it accelerates into a 30' diameter turn. I never turn DSC off either.

Does the 2022 M35i still have a limited slip front diff? I can't explain the difference. Honestly, the planted feeling in turns under power is the primary reason I love the car. In my test drive, I did a full tight 360 around a tree in the center of a large parking lot, with the accelerator to the floor. Sold me right there.
