| Description of the problem | My 2009 bmw m3 with a dct transmission lags between 1st and 2nd gear. When you push on the accelerator the car does not go for at least 2 seconds, then it shoots forward. I have complained to bmw but they say this is normal. This occurs all the time when i am slowing down and the car is down shifting. |
