When going through an intersection instead of downshifting the car lost all power and only went back in gear after several seconds.
I have a new BMW x3 35I. While driving along at a steady pace, the dashboard warning lights for "brake failure", "alb failure" and "dynamic stability control failure" all came on. The cars computer display also displayed a brake and AWD system failure and specified that the car should be immediately and carefully driven to a dealer. After carefully evaluating the barking system, it was apparent that the brakes and AWD systems were fully functional, and there was no failure.
Delay in dct/throttle engagement after slowing to a roll, then pressing down on the gas- the delay is between 1-2seconds, and I know some other folks had the same problem. S-mode plus sport button, eliminated this problem. This occurs when I've slowed to a stop, then want to accelerate quickly to merge into traffic. I was scared twice, and now have become an "old man driver" according to my girlfriend, I do not pullout in front of cars unless I know the delay of 1-2sec won't be a safety issue.
