What some call flexible with electronics others call artificial. A mechanically driven system tends to be provide a more natural feel than an electrically powered system. I would definately prefer a twin charged engine to an electrical + mechanical turbo setup.

A sequential system like twin charging but with turbos of different sizes like some Toyota Supras would also be preferable to me. I'm not a fan of "electrifying" everything. I don't really like EPS, EDC or hybrids all feels artificial to some degree.

Someone mentioned that they had talked to an M3 test driver who said something to the extent of the car having a "2nd surge of power". It sounds like some type of sequential setup wether it contains a electrical engine or is one of the mechanical systems.
