I noticed the same delay when I test drove a 128i convertible before buying my manual. I would have test driven a manual if I could have found one. I needed to squirt across traffice to get back to the dealer and stopped and waited for a bigger hole when the car hessitated. I have a friend that drives one and says she doesn't notice it. I think the delay is less if you "gun" it more. I don't know if that's her "secert" or whether she is just more used to automatics doing this.
