Even the Step isn't that bad as the engine has plenty of power.
Power builds nicely in the NA engine. it's progressive with more revs and it's linear. Throttle response is BETTER than in the TT engine, and I like that VERY much in the NA engine.
Even after owning my TT for over a year, every time I get a loaner 328i, I enjoy it. The engine sound at high revs is super nice, very high tech mechanical but very smooth too. It doesn't have any harshness all the way to red line. It feels like it can easily go beyond 7k rpm.
It's a gem of an engine. It's a BMW engine after all.
Yes, my 135i has brute force power and it gives a thrill when you want it.
It just has ballz. But, if you don't need it, and most don't, the NA engine is great.
I liked my E46 325i sport 3.0 with only 187hp and a bit less torque than that. This NA 3.0 has 230hp. You'll love it.
