If you read road & track (US), wheels magazine (Aus), or Car Magazine (UK), they all say that the 328i needs the adaptive suspension as the standard suspension has too much body roll. For that reason I'll definitely be adding that to my order.
Yeah, agree the N20 is definitely superior to the GTI, with exception of sound. The M Performance exhaust may help address that. The N55 sounds pretty good, and sound even better with the M Performance exhaust too.

Both have great low down torque.

M Sport definitely solves the suspension/handling problems I experienced in the Luxury. Loved it. Trim is much much nicer too. Essential.
