My 528i almost got me killed.
Yesterday, I was turning left onto a highway and had to cross over the oncoming lane. When I saw an opportunity to turn I hit the gas and NOTHING happened. My car rolled into the lane and sat there for about a 4 second delay. I had the pedal to the floor. The same thing happened today in a parking lot. Both incidents happened within a minute of turning on the car. I seem to remember a thread about throttle delay. Any thoughts?

take the car in and let them know that you will not be picking the car up until they can guarantee the problem is gone.
let them know you do not feel safe in the least bit and you are not going to wait until you or a family member gets hurt. mfg's do not take major safety issues like this very lightly because of they brush it off and something really bad happens, they will have some serious explaining |

Wow. That isn't "throttle delay" btw, it's an obvious glitch where the throttle failed to operate.
That's freaky and glad it didn't pan out badly. I was in front of a Cop the other day, which gets me paranoid already as I have tinted windows, and I was hitting the gas and my car WAS NOT MOVING. I was totally internally freaking because now I'm giving the Officer a reason to notice me. I looked at my shifter and it was in "N" and the iDrive was flashing for me to move it in some direction. I looked at the RPM meter and it was at "0" signifying that my stupid Auto Start/Stop didn't start the car back up or something, so I hate to restart it. This ASS is another thing that is just not a seemingly safe feature, if it were to go wrong (hopefully it never does).

Was your engine on or off during this process? Also, assuming its an automatic transmission? I remember my E39 had similar issues where my car's engine would completely turn off while shifter still in "Drive." (Always during a turn when my car was going forward from a complete stop) Definitely bring your car to the dealer and give them as much detail as you can (outside temperature, when was the last time engine started etc.) This is a really serious issue... Glad to know that you're not hurt

Happened with me twice during the 6 months I owned 535i 8-speed automatic
Both time it happened when I was entering the main road from a side lane..I initially thought that it could be the traction control kicking in to avoid skidding but there was no warning light on the dashboard I did not feel any lag but instead it felt as the engine literally died for some seconds

Jeez. Sounds like what happened to me, except I was sitting at a red light and my whole engine appeared to be off (due to ASS). Between this and my rear door popping open when I was driving on the freeway once (didn't fully open, but just "popped" into the partially-closed area) it's kind of got me freaked.

Sounds like the car auto stop start feature was having a problem getting the engine to start back up in time. I heard the system could be extra finicky if it isn't fully warmed up yet. I know some of the earlier 2012 328's had issues with the car not starting back up. either its time for a trip to the dealer...

I would like to say it was more of an ASS hiccup than a throttle delay, but its sounds like you were waiting there with the left blinker ticking then accelerated and the car just did nothing but sluggishly rolled into the middle of the lane. That makes me think that ASS did its job and switched the engine on and "released" the steering, but for some reason the car hesitated for a moment. Not sure.... Wonder how the tach gauge behaved ? Was it flat for the ~4 secs (understand it might be difficult to recall)? I just typically turn ASS off in situations like that simply by lifting the foot off the break. Not necessarily to accelerate faster, but it just annoys me when I have zero control over the steering when I need to make an immediate turn from a stand still (wheel locks when engine shuts). For the record, I am yet to experience this.

I would suggest resetting your adaptive transmission.

That's kind of what I was thinking. I feel like I caught the car in between cutting off and turning on. Just worried it had something to do with the heat.

Ive had the same experience! the reason i figured was cause i drive in eco mode often in city to get better mpg and the throttle response is made to be dull in eco mode for mpg reasons. Ive learned my lesson and almost been side clipped so i wait till cars pass then i drive incase i get a unexpected delay again.

At the dealer you can have your ASS switched to default on last setting. I have my default as off. I do not like the ASS. I think it is not safe. I think it is bad for the engine. I think it will wear out the starter. I fully understand the premise behind it. Vehicles are forced by CAFE regs to raise fuel economy.

My ASS stalled my car again through a busy intersection yesterday.

I've had this problem several times... The dealer was able to
Fix it without replacing the computer box. They had an update for me! Stupid thing switches to N when I drive..
