Transmission Gear Indicator problems of the 2008 BMW M3

While decelerating in 2nd or 1st gear under light braking then attempting to accelerate the vehicle experiences a loss of power for two to three seconds. My first experience with this happened making a left turn across opposing traffic lane. Had oncoming traffic been closer when the vehicle did not accelerate I would have been hit mid side of the vehicle. BMW reports that this is normal behavior of this transmission however I feel it is a major safety issue.
