BMW 325I has an acceleration delay problem. When the driver demands a sudden increase in acceleration, the car hesitates anywhere from 1.5 to 3 seconds. This is a dangerous condition when someone is making a left turn in traffic, or getting onto a highway, or passing on a 2 lane country road, etc. Other cars traveling at 60 mph are moving at 88 ft/sec. The amount of leeway this car needs is much too excessive. The car has been back to the dealer twice with the same diagnosis - "problem not verified". friends who have driven my car think it is a dangerous condition. Bad acceleration is just as bad as poor braking.
