I've noticed that while driving, if you have traction control all the way on (no button press, no dct light) and then keep your foot on the throttle at a cruising speed, and press the dct button (light on), throttle response seems to die off a little. Press it again (light off) and the response comes back.

Anyone else notice this? Maybe try it for me when your'e driving today, is it just my car?

Thanks.
Ok ....I have just purchased my 2nd 135i. It's a 2013 build.

I had a 2011 135i previously and had the exact same issue. Sport on and when you press dtc to have fun, you would lose the aggressive throttle response.. I complained to no avail.

The 2013 car I have, this problem doesn't exist.... Dtc on or off it doesn't matter it's the sport button that controls the aggressiveness .... The way it should be on your car.

I can't explain it, unless the new dme program solves it not sure but now I know this I would fight it..

Good luck
