You have to clutch in + shift + clutch out very quickly to minimize boost loss. (That's pretty standard behavior for a manual turbo car, but having spent the last 3 years in an automatic Z4, I have to get used to it.)
But this car really sounds like a beast in Sport Plus engine mode. I'm happy with it.

I can only drive in sport plus (unless it’s raining) it feels too slow otherwise. Yeah this is my first turbo manual car….definitely different. I find I have to shift to first sooner then in naturally aspirated engines for one thing. And I’m with you, haven’t figured out the turbo lag/boost quite yet. At full throttle no problem.
