I remember reading something along these lines in the past but can’t recall exactly where. Something like during testing of the Active E 1 series they were breaking shafts and addressed it by gradually feeding in the power instead. Im sure you’ll agree you can definitely feel that in the i3 as well.

As predicted they won’t allow this car to be faster than the M3/4 anyway so I suppose it doesn’t matter, but still irks me nonetheless
