Can confirm the lag will get ya in the 35d, but it also depends on the situation. Hard launch and the 35d is a monster off the line, but roll into throttle and the lag is noticeable. But sometimes that power is right there and it surprises you. It's kind of a love-hate relationship.
The N57 hasn't seen much for crazy builds yet, but he M57 has plenty out there as far as monster builds. I would love to have a high power build in the 35d but it's just not ideal for a daily. I find the diesel a good balance of working power and economy. I can pull anything I need to pull and still get good economy out of it.
