Bpm tunes M cars and does other software coding/enhancements whatever you want to call it. He has come out with a servotronic tune which i have on my m3 which stiffens up the steering a little more. Its possible the f30 steerig can be fixed with this type of steering ecu mod.

Fantastic review!!! Many thanks.
So am I right that for the steering and suspension the 4 just sit right between the two 3s and also beats both of them? something like... E9X <-------F32--------> F30 stiff <-------F32--------> soft heavy <-------F32--------> light |

NEW N20 Throaty Tone
I CAN ADD CONFIRMATION TO THE NEW N20 ENGINE SOUND!! I'm a Client Advisor @BMW, I took the LCI F10/N20 for a spin and thought I was hearing things. So, I had a few of the other guys take it for a spin and everyone of them confirmed the new N20 engine note. It sounds like the 3.0L I6 that it replaced! It's much deeper than the previous F10/F30 N20!! Plus, the steering gives the feeling of being more connected to the pavement! Still not much "heavier" of a feel like the Hydro system. I have also noticed that "last user setting" is coming standard on the 14 X1,X3,F10. No need to shut it off after every start of the engine! Plus, not to many owners are aware that you can get "last user setting" programmed from dealer on previous years.

My point is it sounds more like the I6 than previous N20. The higher pitch has always bothered me some. Now it is more throaty!! BEFORE YOU CALL BS, go drive a LCI F10!! I am a Client Advisor at BMW, I drive these puppies all day, every day!

Good thing you didn't get a 330, because it became a 335 the next year....
