330i Turbo Lag
Just wondering...what is the general opinion of turbo lag on the 2019 330i Xdrive? I have had one for about a month and feel that it is very noticeable...even in sport mode. I've had a 2002 330xi (which, I know, was not a turbo) and a 2016 328i Xdrive, and feel that the 2019 is pretty significant.
Thanks for the input... |

Strange, that's one thing I've never experienced unless I am Eco mode. Power delivery is pretty instantaneous and the transmission never seems to be confused when I push the pedal down. Are you using 93 octane?

Loaner cars are usually abused and they put cheapest 87 octane gas.

In FL and likely in the SE you can get 87 pretty much at every corner gas station.

There is a small amount of turbo lag depending on what gear your in, definitely but its manageable. Once you learn what gear to be in for what you want to do it isn't that bad.
