That exact behaviour seems awfully familiar to me.
When i push the pedal to the floor -and activate the kickdown switch, i'm actually loosing power/torque/speed for a second or more, (engine revs stay the same, but the 'wide-open-throttle growl' disappears) before the gearbox decides to shift down. And THEN all the horsies wake up again, and off we go. But that is a looong second of 'nothing', when you are expecting a instant kick in the back.
I bought my X with 170k km on the clock. (recently passed 200k) But the kickdown-downshifts has been like this since i bought it. So i just assumed that it was normal behaviour. But you say that this is a recent thing on yours?
May i ask how your kickdown behaved/felt before then?
