Mine sometimes is slow to accelerate from a complete stop when I sink-the-boot. About one second later the car takes off! At all other speeds the car is fine.

Disney, your on the money there, this is along the same lines as the problem I have. Do you have the diesel engine? The reason I ask is because according the BMW GB's technical guru, then it's the way the transmission is programed. Believe it or not, the transmission will not go down the gears as you slow, but instead wait until you come to a complete stop! So if slowing for a give way and you see a gap, when pushing on the throttle, you have to wait as the transmission suddenly wakes up to the fact that it is in the wrong gear and has to change.
So much for the 'Ultimate Driving Machine'
