An explaination I got from one of the tech's is that the delay is to protect the torque converter from the massive torque, allowing the power to be applied gardually rather than in one sudden spurt.
That may be, but then sort out the torque converter rather than make the car have this strange quirk.

Sorry for my correction, but
although I personally never have detected a DELAY when accelerating the engine suddenly, I would like to remark that you can't feel a throttle delay because there is no throttle built in your V8.
The engine power (and RPM) is controlled by the different valves openings, not by a throttle any more.
This was engineered by BMW because a throttle takes some respectable horsepowers due to losses in the suction part, originated by a throttle when closing the suction pipe!
So it should be precise to tell your dealer that you're facing a delay in the control of the valve aperture angle ...
Sorry again ...!
