I have a RDP T3 MANUAL. I had an issue when I was pootling around in Eco mode, when I then entered a motorway slip rd and accelerated, the turbo kicked in as expected, then died and spluttered and started again. Was a bit concerning as I had pulled out in front of traffic as the turbo kicked in, for it to let me down.
I put it down to Eco mode or "driving miss daisy", then accelerating firmly not allowing the turbo to spool up (my old 15yr old car didnt need this though).
Then today I was on the same motorway (steepish uphill), doing 60mph, steadily accelerated from 60 (in normal/comfort mode) for turbo to start and stop again. Mightve been my imagination but it felt like it was being a bit hesitant when I was cruising at 70 shortly after too.
Anyone else with the T3 experienced this?
Car has only don 1600 miles, if that means anything.
T3 turbo "issue"
Have you taken it to the dealer since your last post on the issue. That's likely the only way you're going to know whether it is a fault or a characteristic?

It's been about 2 years now since I got rid of my XC40... But I also had a T3 Manual and absolutely no issues with the turbo or power delivery so it's not a characteristic of the engine.

Update. Car was fixed on Tuesday with an update apparently. It drives like a different car now it's not 100% but much much better so I've cancelled the BMW order. Luckily the BMW was supposed to be delivered in June so no issue getting my deposit back.
