Also we are talking about the e46 M3 which had little to nothing under 3k RPM's, so I should have prefaced my answer with "above 3k RPMs for both cars".

I also should have noted that my e46 M3 had a ZHP steering rack, as they were much better.
I find the f80 annoyingly laggy/poor throttle response, so....

Certainly it's a different thing than the wait wait wait wait wait POWWWER turbo cars of the 80s/90s. But, that video (above) was about a 2017 991 911's turbo-- pretty current tech! The mechanism by which a turbo works creates throttle delay.
