Yes, it does. My buddy drives a 328i and I test drove a 428i. The sound of the N20 in my 228i sounds noticeably better. Part of that I'm sure is the active sound, but I can't tell how much so I'm OK with it. Additionally, it sounds better outside the car than the 328i and 428i, so the exhaust must be a bit more aggressive from the factory.

It's still a 4 cylinder turbo, so it's not going to have the I6 growl, but for what it is, I'm pretty impressed with the sound.
