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?
Way worse than any other turbo car when you launch it without launch control? What are you comparing it to in your experience?
