Worse now is that you can't get it without turbos either. That blows my mind. I guess it helps mpg and 0-60 times, but who wants turbo lag and nonlinear power?
As an owner of a N54 335i (twin turbo), there is surprisingly little to any turbo lag. The power is also pretty linear.

Gaston knows everything, you're obviously wrong.

Mated to an automatic? How can you tell which one is lagging? I'm sure BMW does it right, I just simply don't need that. I have an N52 with a 6 speed manual and it's a hoot to drive.
I just can't imagine downshifting a N54 from say 5th at 70 mph (cruising) into 3rd, while slamming the gas to the floor, and it being as linear as an N52. Maybe I just don't understand. I can always find ample acceleration with the inline 6, instantly. Maybe if I had driven more turbos I'd want one. IDK though, I went way the frick out of my way to find one without it. I want to keep the car for a very long time...so that also had something to do with not wanting them.
