My Ride: 2004 BMW 530i

When you start off in first gear, does it every feel like you're in neutral when you hit the gas for the first second or so? Is this just because a lack of torque? Sometimes it feels like I'm not even in gear when I hit the gas at first. Does this just mean I need a sprint booster?
Thanks
Thanks

Nope, it's the delay in the drive-by-wire system, get a Sprint Booster or Velocity booster - they boost the signal from the gas pedal to the computer.

Yes. Either SB or Velocity would fix the lag.

Having said that, I don't have SB or Velocity and I do not get that lag.

Lucky. I guess I'll have to live with it for now. I would rather see to my cosmetic mods first. That is unless I strike an amazing deal...
