If by "most", you mean the 135/335 cars, you're correct, but you'll find tons of Subarus and Mitsus happily lapping everybody with zero problems.

And VWs, for that matter.

I expect that BMW will get the turbo right with the new M3, but they've certainly gotten egg on the corporate face with the current x35 cars.
