one thing i'd highly recommend for E46 owners is DINAN software or conforti software. so while the cars are DBW throttle'd, their algorithms help with maxing out the potientiometer (or whatever the hell it is) so the lag is completely gone and makes driving the cars much more enjoyable, IMO.

The ZHP really is not too bad wrt lag. When it gets annoying is when the rpms sat at idle and then you want to give it gas. The lag then is bad. Say you were in neutral for a few seconds and then you want to rev-match... bad lag. Fortunately that doesn't happen often. But the more the revs have been hopping the more responsive the throttle seems to be. But there is always a little lag. After driving the car for 51 months/48K miles, I've come to know the car quite well.
