As far as "feeling" the boost like in a Speed3 or STI....yea, its the shitty lag of those cars your are feeling and then you get bombarded with boost from the turbo...it's fun for a bit but after a very short period the lag get's real old....The refinement of having 2 Turbo's and very little lag is really nice on the BMW ...
Exactly. Why wouldn't a turbo car have a gauge? If nothing else it give the driver more info about the car. Even if BMW claims that the car is in full boost from "idle" up to 5K RPM it still would be nice to see exactly where the motor and the turbos are at peak.
