Just plain dangerous in my opinion. There's no reason it should do that.

This kind of situation is what scares me. For the most part it is a nuisance that I am adjusting to....but what about when I need to make a low speed evasive maneuver or am in a situation like above?
Just took delivery a few weeks ago and I think a July build date.
Im hoping JB4 helps the issue and if not I will investigate one of these pedal box type products. I understand it is a powerful little car, but leave the finesse to my right foot please. If I can control a 1/4 turn throttle on a sport bike I can handle this car.
I really feel that if someone were to have an accident due to this that they could have a case against BMW.
Edit: Just want to add I have the same kind of scenarios often in roundabouts in town over here. Be cruising up to it around 10-20 mph, another car on roundabout but plenty of time for me to jump in, especially considering I have momentum already, give it gas...nothing. Have had to slam the brakes a few times to keep from just rolling into the path of a car because nothing happened when i pressed the go pedal.
