In this context does sequential not actually mean 'one after the other', as opposed to 'side by side'?

As far as I remember,it's to tell the tyre fitted the point to line up with the valve.

The 335d has two differently sized turbos, which operate sequentially. Turbo lag is reduced because the smaller unit spools up earlier reducing the step in power output when the larger one cuts in. EVO recently got this wrong in their comparison between the 335i and VXR8, wrongly stating that the 335i had a sequential arrangement. |

When I used to fit tyres this was allways the case, nowadays nobody seems to do it anymore. Strange.
