Sluggish off the line
I have a 2017 330 I. First four cylinder I've driven since about 2004 oh, and my first turbocharged engine. I've noticed though that when I try to accelerate away from a stop, especially if I need to get moving quickly like turning left onto a divided four-lane, there is absolutely no pick up for the first
Couple of seconds. Is this just turbo lag I should get used to, or is there something off? Car has about 80,000 miles on it |

Unless I'm on the highway, I drive everywhere with the transmission in drive, but pushed left to "sport" mode. The transmission holds gears a bit longer (especially if you hammer the throttle) and makes Comfort mode livable. Switching from Comfort to Sport via the rocker switch — as opposed to pushing the transmission shifter left while in drive — will make things a bit snappier still, taking off a bit sharper and shifting much quicker/harder.
