With my '01 330i, it was something that became more apparent over time. Even if I had test-driven that car before signing the papers (I got one of the first 330s, I had test-driven an '00 328i which still had a partially-mechanical throttle), I doubt I would have really noted the lag.
That said, my '06 330i has virtually no lag, even coming straight from the E36 M3. There is a trace. But nothing like my '01 had.
