I had severe rev hang on my 2002 4/4. I was told it was due to emission concerns as John Harris explains.
It was a good sales technique though as it drove me potty and led me to buying a roadster in 2004 when I could stand it no more!
Mine was a series one, an early one, and it's my belief that the factory had worked really hard on all aspects of that model, from the position of the gear lever to the electronic programming, everything was just right....except the dreadful nylon type front bushings which I had to change back to bronze.
I think it was a high point for the factory; they hadn't just adapted anything from a previous model as easily as possible, they had really tested everything out before releasing it.
There was a very tiny bit of rev hang but it was hardly noticeable, I think they had reduced absolutely as far as possible in that car.
