New 2008 535 twin turbo slow off the line??

[pappy9]

I recently purchased a 2008 535i with the twin turbo engine. This car is automatic.
When i hit the gas off the line whether I have the DSC off or not and whether I am in Sport, regular, or tiptronic 1st gear, there is a hesitation off the line. It seems that the computer regulates that there is no spin when taking off regardless of the mode you are in. This however greatly decreases the speed of the car off the line because there is a hesitation. Does anybody have any thoughts to remedy this?

Trade it for a 550 with a 6 speed manual.

The turbo in your car doesn't kick in until 1400rpm.

If you want to experience a better launch, try revving the car until close to 2000rpm before launching.
