If that's a dangerous acceleration rate, you need to learn how to drive...
The concern isn't the 0-60 time, but the delay in throttle response from standstill or very low speed. It becomes dangerous in situations where an immediate response is needed such as making a left turn ahead of oncoming traffic. I had the same issue with my E60 M5 (SMG III) which is one of the primary reasons I sold it. That car was just a wee bit quicker to 60 than the 35d.
