Cars not too quick but at least you can hear the turbo in the mountain roads in second gear. 😂 In all seriousness power is alright I just want those 20/30 extra ponies. If only bmw would offer a small tune that just bumps up the pressure from that tiny turbo lol.
Also unrelated, was checking if there is anything I wanted to code with bc but unfortunately no folding mirrors here, and when the car is in sport and I throw it to M it says S1 not M1, unless I start shifting. Not sure if that means it has the sports transmission enabled already, if so I don't see anything to code other than windows going up key fob.

Easy way to check if you have N20 or B48 is to open oil filler plug and look there. If you see timing chain, you got N20.
BMW offers M Performance sound and power kit for 335i and 340i and even for 320d but not for 320i or 328i for some reason. Maybe they don't trust N20 can handle additional power?
S1 in cluster doesn't automatically mean you have SAT. Better way to check it is to put stick in S mode and car in Sport or Sport+ and accelerate hard. If you can feel slight jolt with gear changes, you got SAT.
