Boost Lag

[FastEddie]

I couldn’t resist. Too accurate.

idk about the 2.0, but in the 3.3 there's not so much lag though.

Yea the 3.3 maybe one loop in the rope. I’ll still visualize this when stomping on the pedal from a stoplight though.

I think what some perceive as lag may be the response of the drive by wire electronic throttle. It can be really annoying. It was awful in my 3 series, even in sport mode. Had to buy a $300 Sprint Booster, which helped quite a bit.

I like the slight lag cause the power comes in all at once after and feels good!

On a somewhat related note, I have read that an actual horse produces around 15 horsepower.

Only noticeable in Comfort and Eco, which I believe intentionally retard the pedal feel a bit so it's not so touchy. In sport, I feel like the pedal feel/responsiveness is perfect

From Wikipedia. The peak power over a brief time is ~15 hp. For agricultural work and horse type it is ~1 hp

In 1993, R. D. Stevenson and R. J. Wassersug published correspondence in Nature summarizing measurements and calculations of peak and sustained work rates of a horse.[13] Citing measurements made at the 1926 Iowa State Fair, they reported that the peak power over a few seconds has been measured to be as high as 14.9 hp (11.1 kW)[14] and also observed that for sustained activity, a work rate of about 1 hp (0.75 kW) per horse is consistent with agricultural advice from both the 19th and 20th centuries and also consistent with a work rate of about 4 times the basal rate expended by other vertebrates for sustained activity.[13]

Imagine still getting the rush of power but with no perceived lag, that feels even better. I've found that is what my BMS Pedal Tuner allows to happen.

So I guess while a horse has 15 peak horsepower, output at any given time depends on the RPM's of the horse...

That's boring. All my other cars were like that.

The only lag I notice sometimes in my 3.3 is the gas pedal, especially if it's right after braking.
