Lack of power in 1st gear

Hi everyone,

My 2010 128i is my first manual car, and I've been having an on-going issue with the power I get in 1st gear. The car is absolutely dead in first gear, gets close to redline at approx. 30 mph. Switching to 2nd gear gives a bit of resistance and is in no way as smooth as moving up to the rest of the gears or even putting the car in 1st gear. I've driven this car for more than a year now, and this has been an on-going concern. Is this normal?

The one thing that seems odd is the fact that I'll have considerably slower cars beside me accelerating much faster from a stop light.

Thanks.
