It only happens when you're trying to fully kick down, pedal to the floor and only off the line. It's horrible. Dead spot is exactly the way I would describe it, a pause waiting for the downshift, then it catches and 445 flipping horses all GO. Not as fun as that sounds, almost dangerous. My 335 did not do this. No other car I've ever had did this. A slight pause for downshift is fairly common but less these days with modern transmissions, but this is like a dead spot waiting for that downshift. $85k car with all that power, and they couldn't get this right? BMW? It's insane and infuriating, at times.
