My point is that when a Alpina twin turbo N55 can get that good reviews, then there is hope that BMW M has made a good job as well
I agree that the N54 ( and N55 ) has relatively little lag for a turbo car and I also think the S55 will have a lot less lag than the B3. However BMW think it needs an anti-lag system, that should tell you that it will be far from lag free and far from as responsive as for example a good N/A engine. I expect it to be like a modern BMW turbo car but with better response at track style driving no more no less.
