Acceleration Lag in 3.0 & 4.8?
I'm taking into account that this lag might be subjective, so I've gone out to test drive the 4.8 a few times to see if I can imitate this experience. Often times driving more aggressively and other times more relaxed. I've even noted driving it in the two different modes using the sports button below the shifter. (The DS mode, by moving the shifter is just crazy awesome. No lag whatsoever). Till now, all my experiences with the 4.8 has not reproduced the lag. (Great news to my ears). For kicks, I tried the 3.0 yesterday. And the lag was completely noticeable and unacceptable! Yikes! My question is: How many people with 4.8 have experienced this lag (or have not experienced this lag)? |

My 2007 3.0si had lag, my 2008 4.8i does not have any lag.
I'm surprised there's lag in a 335i. The twin turbo should do away with that. All reviews say how impressed they are with no lad. Odd. |

Test drove both 3.0 & 4.8, experienced the lag in both. I still bought it hoping it would be better and while it's still there, I've adapted to driving expecting it to be there so I'm a little heavier on initial acceleration, which makes up for it and it no longer bothers me at all.

i test drove a 4.8 prior to purchase and did notice a bit of lag on a demo vehicle with just over 10k miles on it...
my 3.0si has the very same lag (a fraction of a second) but only when i stomp the gas hard... in smoother acceleration (progressively pressing the gas as i'm accelerating) i'm actually quicker and there's no lag... it's pretty fast... on DS mode...no lag whatsoever... pulls hard and with no hesitation..

Thanxs guys for the replies. Does anyone consistently drive in DS mode in a 3.0/4.8? What are your average MPG's in doing so? Please also state which model 3.0/4.8.

would a grounding kit (for the engine) do away with the lag, because my friend got the new mitsubishi lancer and he had the same "lag" he but a grounding kit on it, and (supposedly) theres no more lag... and now he spanks me off the line...
the grounding kit is supposed to even out negative with positives, anbd optimizes all electric stuff in the vrehicle...
