| Description of the problem | 2009 bmw m3 dct (dual clutch transmission) exhibits a serious lag/hesitation when trying to accelerate from a rapid rolling stop. When this issue occurs in an intersection or at a stop light, a serious safety issue exists of being t-boned or slammed in the rear. When reported to bmw they claim it "works as designed". Guess someone needs to be seriously injured or killed before bmw will resolve this issue. |
