Because in a few seconds you're either way past the speed limit, or the car won't hook up.
My '135i with the DCT, TC off. From idle, floor it and it's spinning through 1st and 2nd. Feather it so you maintain traction into 3rd and you're above the speed limit for anything but a turnpike. And that car was only 300/300 with the 255 Michelin Super Sports out back (stock was 245 but I went up a size).
Which means, if you really want to go full throttle and enjoy, the only place you can really do it is long on-ramps, which you then, have to slow back down to merge.
If you guys really want acceleration, just go buy a liter bike.
