For me I am hoping its quieter than the 20d and zippier for its significantly cheaper than the 20d by almost 10k euro

n20 engine is getting some good reviews on the X1's, 528's and the Z4 2.8i's.

I drove an x1 for 4 months as a company car and it was a blast. The 8 speed transmission with more torque and more hp then the outgoing n52 it was certainly zippy.

Grips: sliiight lag... and I mean very slight compared to the instant power of the n52.
- sounded like a diesel... very tingy. The n52 sounded very good under load.

You shouldn't be disappointed if you think the n52 moves the X3 enough... the n20 will be slightly faster and better

I am a happy owner of a new X1 xdrive 20i with automatic 8-gear box (steptronic).
After 1,500 km, i am surprised by the power of the 184-ps twin turbo charged engine plus the low noise level. With heavy right foot, fuel consumption averages 12.2 lt/100km.
The only complain is the poor sound quality offered by the standard audio system (so i already ordered the upgrade kit!)

Is it the new N20 Turbo engine? Your consumption seems high in the 35i territory.
