Looks and sounds very snappy, I love it. I'm sure it will be offered with a stick too, but as an engineering exercise it shows how good modern autos are, regardless of that fact that many (like me) would still rather a stick.
Nice job bmw! |
how do turbos sound lifeless? Have you never driven a proper turbo car?
Also comments about turbo lag make me laugh... this isn't 1981 anymore lag is a thing of the past. I've had DSMs with GT40s and you know what? Boost is always downshift away.
I drive a 27 year old turbo Maserati and I'll say this, the turbos sound anything but lifeless and lag is zero. I've not driven an N54 with lag or an N55 for that matter.
