good review from an outsider (non-BMW owner). I've been overseas since the release so unable to drive either. I have driven cars with both engines. Wife drives a X1 with the N20, I drive a 335 with the N54 (but i've driven plenty of N55s).
My thoughts on the engines. The difference in power is not that significant. The difference in sound is significant, and the difference in how the 6 delivers the power is significant as well. If you are going for a lightly optioned 228 vs. 235 it makes complete sense to go for the 228. Save $10k. But if you are going fully optioned, the price difference falls to about $3-$4k. Thats a pretty small difference considering how sweet the 6 is.
