I watched the current video and like all other videos, Matt Farah says the car has almost no lag. I heard this before and when I drive the N54 335i I felt some lag. Not bad but it was there. Then I drove N55 and it had slightly quicker throttle response. Car and Driver confirmed this. Now I have an auto F30 328i loaner and while I don't like the car one bit, it has almost instant throttle response. My 1M has always had a slight lag almost like there was a balloon between throttle and whatever makes engine accelerate. There is also the giant surge so I'm wondering now maybe my car has lag and no one else does? There are no fault lights and There are no other 1Ms to compare with. So do you guys have lag too or does your 1M have instant throttle response. I know it's subjective but wanted to know.
