Back to m3/m4 discussion now....

Not to flame...I respect the N54/55...had the N54 for 4 years, have driven the N55...
There is a noticeable lag on both N54 and N55 when comparing to the S65. Doesn't make them bad engines, just turbo vs NA.
This is what people are concerned about when moving to turbo for the next M series. The directness of the throttle-->power is amazing on the current S65, and would take some technological gadgetry to match with a turbo application....which it seems BMW is working on, I'm sure they're aware.
Electric turbo is an interesting concept
