2 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2011

After purchasing my 2011 528i I noticed the car would not accelerate smoothly from a stop or after slowing down to make a turn, it actually felt like it was applying the breaks until you applied close to half throttle then it would lurch forward. The car was taken to dealer and recieved a patch and programing which made no change. To top all of this off it picks and chooses when its going to drive "normal" so you dont know what to expect. . . . This is unsafe. . . . . . On the freeway it wont downshift to pass unless pressed to the floor, the motor just lugs and wont give you the expected response causing cars and trucks alike to be cut off because you didnt accelarate as expected. . . . I cant believe BMW is allowing its flagship model the 5 series to have these issues and not address them. . . . The car pulled to the right as described by many, I took it to the dealer and left at the end of the day with a $300. 00 alignment????? I'm concerned with getting stuck with a lemon $50,000 car that I wont be able to sell, atleast offer a buy back program??? help!!!!!.
