I had one as a rental about 2 years ago. Can't remember if it was AWD or not.

Turbo lag was noticeable, but I am kind of susceptible to it. Others may not have noticed it. I typically try to stay away from smaller displacement turbo engines for this reason. I think BMW has figured out a way to mask it well, but most other manufacturers haven't yet. So my preference would have been for the NA 3.6 engine in the ATS as well.
I think my biggest gripe with it was the infotainment system and touch screen. Just not a fan of this design in general.
You asked for ramblings, so there.
