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

What is more interesting to me, is how quick the engine can deliver maximum torque for the RPM you are at when you go from coasting to full throttle. That is what turbo lag is about, not RPM. Even the 116i with its tiny turbo has very noticeable turbo lag, even though the journalists claims it hasn't.
They should have had an E46 M3 CSL as a reference car.
