I understand why they did it, I just wish they had done it better. Like you said, we are going to see more and more turbo engines from a lot of car companies. I expected BMW find a way to overcome the #1 gripe about these engines, at least for the M's. With turbo lag, it's going to feel like your waiting for the downshift in an automatic. I'll pass.
