Well, the remapped 535d is very fast, pulls very hard and has a better mileage than in original guise. But, there is a but: recovering form very low speed, especially downtown, the car has quite a noticeable "turbo-lag" that was not so apparent with the standard engine. Did anybody notice the same problem?

I guess this is because of the increase of power the effect is more noticeable now? The standard tune has different priorities than the remap...

Dont think this is a DMS symptom 
Never heard of this in my investigations, I considering a DMS for my truck and aint heard anything like it. As said twin turbos, No1 gets rid of the lag

The remap is by Digital Tuning. It's a Swiss company. I've heard and read a lot of good things about DMS but I guess it's impossible to get my car remapped by them here in Italy. And I don't plan any trip to UK in the near future.

Never an Turbo Lag in my DMS 535d, in fact quite the opposite as the car was like an animal when you buried the loud pedal.
