When I take my foot off the gas the car immediately wants to slow down rapidly and this is even in the efficient setting. During deceleration and when the car naturally downshifts the car surges during the transition which is really really noticeable.
I haven't felt this 'jerkyness' in my cars since the early nineties. Is this normal?
Just to give you a bit of history, I've never had a car so powerful before (last was an Infiniti G35x), never had a car with turbo's before, never had a car with DCT.
Any insight would be helpful, I don't want to go to the dealership and cry wolf.

My LCI M5 this week has been used close to freezing in the mornings, NO problems at all, my only complaint is these cars take way too long to warm up in any temperature
Mine typical 10 miles before it's shows temp out of town driving.
The diesels warm up much quicker.
