As above, I couldn't cope with the up to one second delay between pressing the throttle and getting a response on E46 330i, having googled I see some complaining about the same on the 335i but I also see there has been at least one software update about the problem - does it solve it ?

Thanks

I switched from a cable throttled E36 to a 335i and don't notice any delay in opening the throttle.
That may be because the tiny bit of turbo lag hides it.

I'm not talking about turbo lag - with the 330i you could quickly stab the throttle and the revs wouldn't rise - ie the "switch" had a delay in it which was incredibly frustrating.

In the sport mode of my DCT 2009 335i, a quick stab would definitely see the revs rise.

My car was updated December 2014, so I assume one of the latest updates as the car was out of production?

I understand that.
All i was saying is because there is a tiny bit of lag, it may mask the throttle delay

My E91 330i doesn't have any such delay in throttle response.

Some people don't notice it apparently - certainly can't stab the throttle on mine , however quickly, without response

My old one did. Didn't notice it until someone told me about the electronic throttle.

Then I noticed it lots.

Some are better than others, I reset mine regularly which improved it but when driving quickly and trying to adjust my line with the throttle it was just too slow to respond - I've driven hundreds of cars and the 330i was the worst in this respect
