it might be hard to do, but if you get it at the right volume and press pause on the 335i video, i couldn't tell a difference in the sound when it stopped.
I'm talking about actual driving experience with both engines.
The N20 is a great engine but it's tone and volume simply do not compare to the N55.
The N20 has a slight growl at higher rpm, but it's quiet and subtle.
It's not a dig at the N20 at all.
N55 is very different, but that's for obvious reasons.
