B38 & B48 Engined Model Reviews?

Has anyone seen any reviews of the B38 and B48 engined models? I've only been seeing info on the B58.

Most sales are of the smaller engined cars and as a previous owner of an N20 328i these are the models I'm most interested in.

Really looking forward to hearing about your 330i and in particular the engine sound and smoothness.

The tune level is similar to the B48-engined European 320i.

Having sampled the B38 in the Mini Cooper and the B48 in the Mini Cooper S, I really curious to see how they perform in the 3-series. Pity that we are stuck with the N20/N26 for another year in the US.
