Problems with turbo/throttle

I have my 118i since beginning of decembre and the last 2-3 months i've noticed something wierd with my turbo/throttle.

It happens almost evey time i use the car for the first time each day. I start, begin to drive, i switch from first to second gear and even though im at the turbo rev range there is just no acceleration, this holds on for like 0.5-1 sec and all of a sudden it kicks in and off i go. From then on, i dont see it anymore.

I figured it had to be something with the engine being cold and so is the weather here (around 0-5 degrees celsius) but it's just a wierd feeling, its like you press the gas peddle, you are at like 1900-2k revs and you just don't go any faster. It's like the famous diesel turbo gap in tiny cars

I have never driven any turbo car without this lag. Very annoying if you are used to naturally aspirated engines.
