Have any of the software upgrades eliminated the throttle delay? I notice it in
D mode not D/S. Also w/ a/c on it is less marked. Is there a fix for this?
Happens alot w/ engine warm and from a standing start. Really annoying.

I believe at least one person had the idle RPM increased from 500 RPM to 600 in D mode without A/C. According to the previous post, this eliminated the delay. My guess is changing this default setting may affect the fuel and emission efficiency. Remember 545i V8 does not require "gas guzzler tax".

i have a 530 and used to have that, too . but after 13.2 s/w update, it became worse . i asked my dealer and the tech test drove three other e60 but they all reacted the same . so he told me that's normal . they didn't do anything to fix that . it's not only annoying, it's dangerous, too . let's say if you are on the highway and trying to enter the fast lane but the car has a delay. i could possibly get rearended by that . i wish the newer s/w update will fix this problem .

Mine have not been updated yet but my delay really troubling me. My mileage right now is about 8000 and have not changed my oil yet. Is that one of the problem why it is having the delay or the software ?

[/quote]alohalc ... when are you going in for your first oil change? i picked up my car on the first of this month, and have 2K on it already. wondering if 4k - 5k miles will do it?! i think the service reminder shows not until 10k miles for first service.
