?????? with most of the above....

All autos have lag ?????

The lag is there to protect the 'clutch' in an auto ?????

I thought any and all lag probs associated with the 135i had to do with ecu software and turbo operational issues, regardless of transmission type...

BTW FYI the 'ZF' auto trans adopted for the 135i has a locking stall converter and can handle well upwards of 600nm of torque on a constant basis !

I don't think you'll have 'delay' issues resulting from the auto trans equipped 135i's, most certainly the recorded acceleration times don't suggest so either :wink:
