Is that on Sport+ mode with the transmission in Manual mode? Even my wife's 2017 X5 (M sport but otherwise just a regular mom mobile) upshifts/downshifts very quickly and responds with very little lag on the paddles. There should be no issues with going to redline. If it is not following your commands, you're probably being way too aggressive with shift requests. You might even be hitting or getting too close to fuel cut-off and not realizing it.

Look at this M5 video. Completely different from the video you showed. I think that person just doesn't know how to drive the car.
