I just read your thread... the lag to accelerate after slowing down and completing the turn while coasting... the X5 does this as well in auto... I thought it was the 3.0 engine but it feels like it doesn't even try to accelerate for a few seconds. I don't have acceleration lag from stop... I have it from a slow roll after slowing down. Sounds like the same issue despite different transmissions & engines. Any other owners 3.0 or 4.8 have this problem?

I'd also like to hear about an honest comparison for M3 vs. X5 handling (not speed/acceleration of course).
