R60 Another acceleration question

Another acceleration question
I've seen this brought up on here but mostly with older models. I have a new (2016) Countryman S ALL4. About 5k miles on it. Automatic. I've noticed, from time to time, that acceleration (especially from a full stop) is not that great. When I test drove it this wasn't an issue. I do a lot of city driving so it's kind of a pain. I thought this car was more "zippy" and it seemed to be on the test drive. I know I can put it into Sport mode but, as I mentioned, it doesn't do it all the time.
I use 91/93 gas for what it's worth.
Is it normal and something I'll have to get used to (coming from a 2005 Mini S Convertible which never had this issue, it was also a manual though)? Or should I start bugging my dealer about it?
Thanks in advance!

I think the car has some maps that will scale the throttle if things are not the appropriate temp to help preserve the turbo. my r60 is very sluggish until temps hit 140 deg, where as my gf's justa r56 will nearly go once the rpm's drop. I would imagine that the car wants to see a certain oil temp before normal accel
