If BMW is doing anything like this, they would have to have put a lot of innovation into overcoming those drawbacks. |
I can assure you that BMW is doing no such thing. It almost certainly is related to the electronic wastegate actuators which can keep the wastegates closed during shifts and the shaft speeds up. "Anti-lag" utilizing massive timing retard and "on-shift" rich conditions destroy the turbo and even more importantly would destroy any downstream catalytic convertors on the first shift.
