It’s fine if you’re driving open roads. The slight, but always present turbo lag drives me crazy in town. And the absence of top end is really annoying when you get on it.

I’d rather have more lag and be able to drive around it. Also, BMW’s standard gearing is really problematic. You fall off the bottom of second far too much.
