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.
