Yeah I know, I know... lag is misused jargon and a "non existent" problem that silly BMW marketeers and tinkerers are trying to solve anyway...
Read up here on cross-bank turbo charging.
The configuration is also more compact and contributes to an improved weight distribution. One drawback of the V6 is that is requires considerable mechanical balancing (robs some power) whereas the I6 has perfect first and second order balance. |

You impress me that you are taking an interest in Turbo charging
....Nice one!
Unfortunately the cross bank only works with V8's a V6 would not work any better than how the twin scroll works on the current N55.
Nice you've also discovered how balanced an I6 is, absolutely naturally balanced.
