if you read some of the literature on the E70 xdrive, you will find out that the all wheel drive system is a "proactive" system that calculates traction and accelerator movement to best apply the tourque and power before the car starts to move- Flexray can make it happen in 0.1 seconds (100 ms). If you find that when you depress the gas pedal suddenly and the car hesitates for about 0.1 sec, you know its the xdrive working properly for you so you don't get the mad back end sliding.
If the hesitation is longer than that, i'd an engine issue. When I first started to drive my 4.8i it did experience the hesitation. I'd press on gas, wouldn't move, so i'd give it more, then just BOOM! shoots forward, then I panic and pull my foot off the pedal, and the car jerks and everything inside it ... then other people wonder if I've gone mad

Not to get overly technical, but here's some pointers on xDrive: 1. When starting off, the differential is fully locked to optimise traction. 2. When doing parking maneuvers (large steering angles below 20km/h), the xDrive is decoupled to be rear-wheel drive to reduce driveline forces when parking. 3. After starting off as the vehicle gains speed over 20km/h, the xDrive splits the torque 40/60 default, unless other factors warrant a change in distribution There isn't a "magical" redistribution of power when you accelerate, and hence, there isn't any reason for xDrive to cause any hesistation or delay. And like I said, it works perfectly fine in my X3 or any of the older BMWs. It's the gearbox. BMW hasn't bothered to iron out the 6AT issues on the 328xi, 2007+ X3, or X5 for some reason. |

Hmm.., Yeah i've been thinking it's the Xdrive thinking, I guess more specifically the "AGS" specified in rh71's post. But I may be wrong. but then again, these "problematic" transmissions are all on Xdrive vehicles according to your post... Bottom line, I hardly notice it anymore. I did get an iDrive upgrade since then..

I thought I read somewhere or saw on a post that when it starts off, its in second (2nd) gear and not first, call it a fuel economy factor. If you put it in "DS" then it gets more lively. I tried to sense the shifting and yes, it seems that for the 4.8 it does start off in two. May explain the so called "hesitation".

i suspect the reason for the hesitation is that in normal D mode, it starts off in 2nd and if you punch on the gas the car has to downshift to 1st to accel.
in DS it just goes from 1st and no hesitation. |
