I am still having a lag/jerk effect when launching in automatic
mode. It doesn't happen in sport mode. Is there a definitive fix?

software version information would help, or if you don't know that, model year and when your car was built (look in the driverside door). I know that for me a software update, from 11.0 to 15.0 has gotten rid of it. If you are on an older software version, go to the dealer and complain. Might even throw in a few about ther iDrive or other issue that will get you a software update.

What kscarrol said.? I always thought this lag thing did not apply to me in a 6spd.? I guess it just manifested itself differently.? My upgrade to CIP 16.1 from 13.3 has made a marked difference in overall performance and engine smoothness.

My Ride: 2007 Titanium Gray 550i, with sport, nav, HUD, Logic7, sat radio, cold weather, rear side airbags, rear seat heaters, and it goes like a bat outta hell!
Ditto for me.....I upgraded to 16.2 a few weeks ago, and it solved the throttle lag completely for me. I was VERY unhappy with the car's acceleration for quite some time. I started driving in DS all the time to mitigate the lag, but it was still there to some extent. Now, with 16.2, I only drive in D, and the car literally purrs as it accelerates smoothly, and strongly!!

Has anyone notice any difference going from v.15.2 to v.16.2? I wonder if it's worth the effort.
I was thinking of waiting until Sept for MP3 support then upgrade.

I just picked up my 545i a couple of weeks ago and it was a mid March build so I assume it has the most current software. I feel mine stutter on initial acceleration in automatic. <_< I don't notice it in DS mode.

the stutering in mine was solved with some adjustment made by the dealer. Not software!
