Don't agree. I've had this same issue (with throttle tip in delay). It's been reported with different BMW engines and auto trans. I've got a N55 w/ 8HP. It appears some cars (and people) are more sensitive to it than others. Why do I think it's not turbo?
- Many cars have turbos, they don't all behave this way
- If you do the throttle adaptation reset, it's not as bad (but soon comes back)
- It's still there in Sport mode, but not as noticeable
- People here have reported success with Sprint Booster, etc

I mostly live with it, but it is damn annoying at times. Was thinking about Sprint Booster, but also wanted a tune, so recently added the MHD stage 1 tune. Was hoping the delay would go away or not be as bad, but it's about the same.

OP, try this throttle adaptation reset and let us know what you think:
- Foot off brake
- Press start to turn on car (but not start)
- Press accelerator pedal to floor for about 30-40 seconds
- Press start to turn off car
- Release accelerator
- Wait about 2 minutes, then start normally and drive off
