Congrats on the new car. I just got mine, and have to agree that the new engine sounds so much better than the old 4 cylinder. Enjoy.

Shouldn't the sound be more a function of the muffler, vice the engine? The cylinder count, engine size, stroke,bore size, timing etc are constant variables between the two engines?

If the new one is stronger (rods, Pistons) than the N20 and has more reliable timing chain - it will be a cracker of an engine.

Very Nice!

The 328i which I had from 2012 sounded quite tractor'esque at idle. It had a very distinctive, diesel-like clatter that the 330i doesn't have.

The B48 uses piezo injectors rather than the noisy diesel-sounding solenoid injectors in the N20 if I remember correctly.

I still can't get used to it and I have had my car since 2012....

Very nice, congrats!

How are the LED headlights at night? Any difference to xenons?

Looks very nice with all the M Performance goodies...
