Nice video, but I have to say, it disappointed me a bit. Why is it that the transmission takes so long to shift after moving the lever? I thought it was supposed to be quicker in the new X? Is this delay introduced purposely for some sort of a safety reason or is it the best they can do? The M cars with paddle shifters don't take this long, do they? Isn't the new M5 shift speed adjustable?
