Torque converter gearbox on a 320hp hot hatch sounded odd not long ago.

If I am not mistaken, the manual on M135i is a new Getrag dry sump box, so I hope it will be better than the one on 328 the guy in the article was talking about.

Also, would that be turbo lag instead of poor throttle response that the guy was experiencing? And I don't buy his idea that torque converter will make the situation better. It only makes you feel that the slowness is due to the torque converter, and forgive the throttle/turbo lag.
