I have got a diesel E53 too that seems to have this same issue. What i find is sometimes if u time the acceleration incorrectly it does not go as well. Me sales rep said that u need to ride the turbo. Let me try and explain what i think is happening with my E53.

Sometimes jump on the pedal, the computer will sometimes over-fuel the engine (especially with remaps), and then u hear the engine work very hard and there is not much of real acceleration. In that scenario if u do not have a particle filter like my older X5, u will see a lot of smoke in the back due to incomplete combustion. U guys on the E70 will not see any smoke coz of DPF but when u do that u are kinda choking ur engine and over fueling because the turbo has not spool up enough to provide enough air for the additional fuel ur pumping in. Next time u should try pushing in th petal gradually with the acceleration hence 'riding the turbo' or rolling the throttle as refer to this other post.

Maybe the new twin turbo is different but i hope this helps.
