The car has a serious turbo lag. When I stepped on the gas it would take a few seconds for the car to move. I was very nervous driving it, as it was difficult to judge when I could enter or cross a stream of traffic safely. This is a serious safety issue. The dealership offered to come to my home with a loaner and have one of their employees accompany me while I drove the car to illustrate the issue. The person readily agreed several times there was an issue in the way the turbo or transmission was functioning. He loaded the car on the flatbread to the dealership and left me with a loaner. After checking out the issue with my brand new car the dealer agreed it was a problem. They said they would check for a software update, which they did and installed it. They held it again overnight to test it the next day after the software update. The service manager advised that the software update did not fix the issue, and BMW told them that the car was designed to work that way. After hearing this I looked online for people with the same issue, and I readily found several examples including a person that regularly reviews new cars in video and said the turbo lag was dangerous and he would not be surprised if there was a recall in the future. How can the service department see a problem and the manufacturer say it was designed to work that way? If so, customer should be advised, hey when you step on the gas the car may not move for a few seconds!
