There is an easy fix, replace the gearbox map with the GTS and it doesn't do it, lots of people have done it but BMW say it will invalidate your warranty, It is appallingly poor mapping, their is no way a road car should do this, it isn't a race car, I have driven race cars at all levels and never had one do this, you can get it into a loop to the point that the traction control thinks the car is in trouble.
I am amazed at the number of owners who swallow this rubbish about modulating the throttle, sooner or later someone will have an accident due to this fault.
