If the car's going to be turbocharged then let it feel turbocharged. I actually love the small amount of turbo lag in my 340i, the tradeoff for a small moment of lag is a stronger top end and the rush of acceleration as boost builds is always fun as long as you aren't waiting several seconds (anyone who has driven big turbo Evos, Supras, etc. will know what I mean). It'll be intersting to drive a turbo car with electric assist, I've never had the pleasure of driving a McLaren P1 so I don't know how that feels but I'm sure it's exciting in a different way.
