Description of the problem	Own a 2008 bmw x3 3. 0 si awd. We had an engine cranking issue and took to vehicle to dealer to have tsb service bulletin number : sib-12-17-07/nhtsa item number : 10028464 performed. Since this was performed, there is very poor throttle response in the normal transmission mode. The transmission will stall to engage with very erratic and hard up and down shifts. The concern is with the delay in throttle response when pulling into traffic, when you give it throttle, it is delayed to respond, presenting a true safety concern. The vehicle has been back to the dealer 2 to 3 times since with no resolution. Bmw north america was contacted and they simply referred me back to the dealer. Spoke with the dealer this week and there is still no resolution as they say they are still waiting on new computer programming; however, they have 3 other x3s in this dealership with the same concern. My fear is that when my wife is pulling into traffic that the vehicle will be delayed in throttle response and a crash may result. Bmw has an issue with this in looking at the bimmerfest. Com blog as there are numerous complaints of the same issue on this site.
