While with their DCT there is no lag at all with gearshifts due to ECU and quickness of shifts.

Does that make sense about the manual lag?

I have had a 135i and a 328i (with the turbo 4) and the lag is near imperceptible, though I could see how with a manual you'll notice it much more. Especially if you are the type that shifts around 2-3k rpm and then goes back somewhat heavy on the gas.
