You'll feel it, but barely. 20hp/30tq isn't going to feel like much in a car that weighs this much. And remember, it's 20hp/30tq peak not across the entire power band from idle to the redline. I've spent over a decade modding cars and I can tell you first hand this isn't much. A 335i with the power pack will probably give you .2 seconds/2mph or so in the 1/4 mile as an example. That's only 2 car lengths. It's a very slow pull to get 2 car lengths over a 1/4 mile and not something that's you're going to feel pinning you back to your seat. Most people would struggle to tell which car was faster if they drove both.

BMW states .2 seconds faster to 62mph. That is not 1/4 mile. So assuming BMW is not lying, would you say a .2 second difference to 62mph is noticeable?
EDIT: from the graph both the new power as well as torque curves are pretty parallel to previous values, and seem to be as across the rev band as the previous values.
