You're not the only one. I get the same dead spot on occasion when I floor it and then all of a sudden a massive jolt forward when it kicks in. I find this can be quite dangerous as sometimes when you need to make a quick turn right/left across traffic in the opposite direction you end up being stuck in the middle with cars coming full whack towards you and on a number of occasions I have just managed to move out the way in a split second of causing a collision with other vehicles. Have had BMW look at it but they have been unable to recreate the dead spot on test drives.

Does anyone know of a dealer fix or is this "normal"?
