    Hello, My car doesn't move immediately when I change the gear from P to D. When I put it to D, car stays stationary for about 3 or 4 seconds, then starts to move very very slowly, and gradually it reaches to normal speed. If I press the accelerator, same things happen in less time. It is a...

On the E60 I have seen a sport button next to the selector and this was always accompanied by the paddle on the wheel. On the F10 though...
