I don't care what the prelim reviews say, turbos have turbo lag. The response and feel of a high tech naturally aspirated engine is the essence of a BMW. Anyone can bolt on a turbo.
I would have preferred a 300bhp 3.5 liter version of the N52

I much prefer the turbo. At 5000ft in elevation the 3.5 normally aspirated engine would be making 15% less power than at sea level. With the turbo engine you are losing very little power. I'll take a turbo over non-turbo anyday!
