b58 M40i

Hi guys,
I have a my19 X3 M40i coming in late October, Ive asked the question in the X3 forum no one seems to know the answer.
I drove a my 18 X3 m40i before ordering Awesome car and sound, since then BMW have updated it and fitted a PF in the exhaust, I presume the same as the 1, 2, 3, 5 series etc.
Now Ive watched Joe Achilles video he also says awesome and the sound is amazing.
My question is are the new vehicles coming with the PF any different in sound and power delivery since they are also down 6 hp.
One chap on the X3 forum has just taken a delivery of a MY19 X3 m40i and he says it has no sound no popping or farting.
Have any of you guys put a MY 18 next to a MY19?
Thanks for listening

My M240i's both have the MPE and have since new, but they took a couple of thousand miles to get "fruity".
My X3 M40i has 100 miles on it so is still on the quieter side, but it sounds better than a stock M240 without MPE already so I'm hopeful.
Haven't actually used sport or sport+ yet but I might have a go this weekend 😁
Will report back.

Update.
MY19 X3 M40i does not sound as good as the MY18 after a few thousand miles.
Sad but true.
Think it's got more to do with napping than the PPF itself, as I still get pops and crackles in Sport but only for the first minute or so after starting the engine, cold or hot.
