S58 turbo is too big to use power from at least when you're not revving it up high.
In my opinion, Sacrificing response for peak hp is no wise for an M.
I'm not even sure this thing is an improvement in my book over the S55, in terms of overall driving experience.

I agree. I wish the X3M had the S55, as that thing had torque down low for days. The S58 sounds a lot better than the S55, but that's about it.
I always said if my F80's had AWD they would be perfect. So BMW builds an AWD S55 successor (the S58) and takes away all the low end torque and gives it lag. Why, BMW?
