It's not the turbo lag. Sure there is some but what you experienced is BMWs attempt to soften the throttle for normal driving (people that are crap at throttle control). Hence why the car is more responsive in sport mode because BMW expect people will know it will take off quicker.

If I am driving and I want to set off quickly I hit the paddle to take it into M1 and use the DCT manually or indeed switch to sport mode and get the car to do the work.

Normal mode is very soft on throttle response.
