Hopefully you cant notice the transition...

...in the first Honda VTec variable valve timing engines, the transition was noticeable and jerky... as new models, new engines have come and gone.. its such that you only notice the change on very light throttle openings...

As with all BMWs, wait for 6 months to a year til they get the magic sorted.. and the options list incorporated as standard
