My build date was during April, 2019, and I have the exact same issue as the OP. As with others, I would think (hope?) BMW would issue a software update for this.

One thing's not completely clear from the thread - does the engine rev, and the car doesn't go? Or does the engine basically remain at idle?

Mine (Jan 2019 build 2.0 petrol - non M35i) is doing it, esp when taking off hard from standstill. Even an old Passat next to me accelerated faster initially.
The car moves much slower that you'd expect for about a second, then accelerates properly. Then it's all wheel spin and torque steer when the power kicks in. Sh*** front wheel drive. Took it for a drive with the dealership tech who said it was normal... It's bad, and at least I can see others have this issue. I remember my old N54 335i had a software update early on aimed at reducing the lag.

This sure sounds like a software issue. The key to getting these fixed is to figure out exactly how to recreate the (mis)behavior.
Curious, do you think it has to do with coming off the brake and sharply onto the accelerator? Does snapping the accelerator off, then back on, wake anything up? Or, stabbing at the brake? I'm slightly wondering if it isn't some kind of interaction with the launch control recognition. I'll make a date with my favorite parking lot. |

Good info on the "coasting" thing. I guess that also means that the steering angle isn't a factor, which was another guess. One other question - can I assume you completely floor the accelerator, with no response? I.e. you push past the normal range and into the higher-pedal-resistance kickdown range? |

I called BMWUSA to let them know about the issue. They took down the information and said they'll "look into it". Doubtful.
For what it's worth, I registered a complaint with the NHTSA. If any of you are still experiencing this issue, I highly encourage you to do the same. An investigation/recall won't happen unless there are enough complaints. Here's the link to my complaint: https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2019/B...FWD#complaints I drove the vehicle for a few hours today in both open highway and city driving situations and the lag occurred every single time I tried to accelerate from a slow roll (auto-off was disengaged and I tested it in all three driving modes). I confirmed the engine doesn't rev during the lag. I also attempted to floor the accelerator during the lag (as another commenter suggested) and the vehicle did what I expected it would: after a few seconds, it exploded forward but with more force than before. On a bright note, it looks great freshly washed. |
