Turbos could arguably be driven more efficiently at low speeds, but then again, this is not so clear an argument under normal driving conditions. And everyone knows a nice torquey 6-cylinder or bigger engine is always preferable to a turbo engine, because of the inherent turbo lag and poor low-end performance. The problem with most BMWs is they are useless in bad weather and if you want to have fun on the dry you may want to spend big bucks on visiting the tyre shop as often as the filling station.
