Turbo Lag - Auto or Manual?

Hi all,

New to this forum and have just recently test driven the new 135i - needless to say, i'm in the process of definitely trying to order myself one.

One issue that has concerned me is obviously this turbo lag issue with 29+ software versions but there is one aspect bugging me about the discussion - I still have not seen in any of the posts here or on e90post confirmation about whether this issue related to auto or manual specifically.

Can someone shed light on this aspect a bit more? I would imagine that because a majority of customers seem to buy automatic 335 and 135i's that it could also be isolated to that transmission.

Technically speaking, you would be more susceptible to lag from an auto because of the fact that you can't really have as much control over the rev's as you do in a manual? Is that a fair statement?
