I was told that it's a known design choice associated with the turbos on those SUVs to make them feel more like an "X" vehicle, and that the turbos in the M3/M4 will fix this problem.

Has anyone else experienced this, and do we know if the turbos in the M3/M4 will indeed resolve this issue?
Launch control or just flooring it from standing?

I watched most of the x3m/x4M reviews and at least one specifically called out flooring it and launch control are two different worlds..... you don't want violent acceleration with your Costco/Home Depot/vacation cargo in the back
