When I first got mine I thought the same thing (original dealer "demo" that manager was driving), my first year service I mentioned something to them and not sure what they did but it had a lot more punch from the get go after that. Not sure if there was some cpu tune that BMW rolled out quietly but it wasn't just my imagination (forgot to ask about it before I left).

Also the extra torque the LCI got should help and looks like it did, 1/4 mile in 10.5-10.6 now, Car and Driver tested the original at 10.8
