If you check the Autocar written review, things don't sound too good:
Yikes. Late power delivery from a turbocharged car is a major peeve of mine. I just won't tolerate it.

Its not that late, after about 2200-2500rpm it feels like a rocket and then it just keeps going all the way to the redline. The BMW just seems to peek a bit too quick then goes for a bit, then slightly dies off. They are offer very different power surges. BMW definitely better for those quick little overtakes when your stuck behind a slug of a driver, but if you want a good surge of power then the AMG is that bit quicker
