Agreed! As another V8 aficionado (and also owned some of BMW's best including S65) ratchet way down your "visceral" tone expectations..
The n20 does sound like a little diesel upon start. And it's not much of a heart thumper when warmed-up either..
But it's a nice, smooth & spunky motor...I've been driving BMW's since the E36 and the N20 is actually my 3rd favorite BMW Motor (behind M3 S65 and my x5D)
