BTW: Not all of us are sensitive... proof is here in the thread. Otherwise, BMW would not have thought they'd get away with that kind of "fix".
I'm assuming the comment by BMWagain refers to my "one and a half tenths of (a) second". 150ms is 150/1000 of a second so I stand by my math.

My feeling is that our sensitivity to the delay is not linear. There's a delay caused by the electronics & adaptations in addition to the 150ms delay added by 29.2. It may just be that removing the 150ms delay suddenly makes the throttle response seem much more immediate. It could be that 350ms delay vs 500ms is an important difference for some.

But....is the implication that cars built after March 08 do not have the 150ms delay? I'll need some convincing after BMW were so tardy coming up with the current statement.
