Throttle Response is Terrible on these cars
I reread the OPs question and it is specifically about heel-toe down shift slowness that has to do with the heavy dual OEM mass flywheel.
OP, I still heel - toe almost every downshift and with stock flywheel, the only thing you can do is use the wait time to down shift slower and use neutral as a check of which gear you are moving into.

I would have to be in the car with you becuase this seems to subjective to really deem a throttle response isse. I have never had a problem with my car and drive by wire. Acctually both of the cars that I had that were drive by wire were just as resonsive as my cars that were cabled. Though at least with a cable driven car you could always tighten the cable and get a little more response out of it that you can't do with the new system.

I use mine as a daily driver and I know that the lag is there on my R53 but just adjusting my clutch/shift patterns has made a huge difference in the way it responds. I am actually currently looking into some options that have been used on other applications to make the lag a little less of an issue. If I am able to locate a suitable option to fix it (cost effective) I will post it up.
One reminder to some readers...gen1 MINI's (like the op's) do not have a sport button...it is ALWAYS SPORTY!!!
