You should consider another car if "off the line" performance is what you crave. BMW uses "fly by wire" engine control, if the engine management perceives throttle and brake as a simultaneous input, then it shuts down the amount of power the engine can produce, it is what is referred to as a plausibility fault. My opinion is to leave the car stock and learn to hone your driving skills.
