It's kind of funny because it throws me forward as I'm bracing for acceleration (it starts to go, then stops... waits, then goes).

Now that I think about it, it behaves as if the car isn't picking up any fuel... I wonder if it could be a pickup issue?

Hell, even taking off from a light sometimes I bet I could get taken by a Prius.

You've decribed my experiences exactly. Stock M6 2010 sport package with less the 2k miles. It's happened twice that were memorable and I was not in anyway way mashing the pedal but simply accelerating moderately from a stop light...the car barely moved into the intersection and then suddenly jolted forward like a rocket. The other time was turning right from a stop sign and even though I had lots of room to go, by the time the car responded (about ten feet after I had made the turn), I'm sure the car coming behind me had to brake. I've never seen any car that is so slow from a stand still sometimes and then it takes off like a rocket. Honestly this must look funny to bystanders; creep off the line and gone like missile. The VDC light doesn't come on so I don't think this is a nanny issue.

Has there been a consensus on a fix? Is it a fuel system issue?
