Could be. The lag doesn't exist on the 1M as far as I know, and while N54 is older, it's at least one turbo car that doesn't have it. Both the N55 and S55 M cars have this issue and they have different turbo setups. I wonder if it's present on N55 135i? If not, I lean towards this being some kind of traction or safety oriented "feature".
