when I was driving my 35d around the city today I was booting it in the guts here and there ..and must admit there's a fair bit of noticale lag here and there along with 'boggy delay' when you are in-gear and looking for some push ... even in DS mode - I think the TT unit is not as optimised as it should be ( I thought the whole purpose of TT was to cater for lag and delays at the bottom end and mid range ) ... I'm going to try the 35i and 50i when they arrive to compare ...it alreaady sounds like the 50i has a little lag ..but the 35i sounds on the money in terms of being more relatively lag-free ...

The 35d already has twin turbos. I suspect that the lag you are experiencing is more to do with the fact that you are asking a 2000kg+ vehicle to respond like a lightweight, which its isn't. My experience with the X6 with the 35i, 50i and 35d engines (Aussie spec) is that the 35i is sweet-as everywhere but can't match the 35d in mid-range punch, nor economy, but if you want real get-go the 50i is the answer.
