2017 X4 M40i

Hello

I recently just purchased an 2017 X4 M40i. Compared to the old BMW 328i I used to have, everything I hear from the engine I'm not use too hearing from my 328i. My question is after exceeding highway speeds of 70-80 mph in comfort mode letting go of acceleration I would hear gurling noise, is this how the engine suppose to sound????

I have the same car, love the engine sounds!

Question ... has anyone experienced rough shifts ... like several "clunks" accelerating from a stop light
