I test drove the 328i again and compared to my supercharged car, lacks grunt at low rpm. Of course the engine comes alive at mid to high rpm, but that low rpm responsiveness is missing.
I don't know how you can say the 328 lacks grunt at low rpm -- it's sensational and class-leading at low rpm. Did you have the car is Sport or Sport+ mode? Comfort is pretty average, Eco Pro is diabolical.

I loved the 328i engine, but not the sound. I went for the 335i which sounds lovely in comparison, but offers similar performance.
