That's precisely why I'm worried. Had a 2011 MCS a few weekends ago as a loaner, and while it's smooth for a 4 banger and had decent kick (it did have some noticeable lag BTW and yes I tried DS/manual mode with sport on), it's not a good sounding motor or anywhere near as smooth as a N52. The 328i loaner I had with my last oil change had a superior motor.
