Our 2001 4.4i did not have ANY trottle lag. From what I've read, this is largely an E70 transmission programing issue where BMW has tried to improve MPG by starting off in 2nd and other tricks when stopped. The end result is that E70 can't quite make up their minds what gear to be in when pulling away from a stop until you give some direction with your foot
