Generally, I find the engine to have quite a beat at idle, when parking in tight spots in closed areas you definitely notice that it almost sounds a little like a diesel. It's not a criticism, just an observation. The performance is worth it! |
Same here, all the F20 from our Taiwan club experiencing the same noisy cold start. However, after 3min or so, when the RPM drops to normal, the engine gets a little quieter thou~
I checked on youtube and seems that the COOPER S has the same problem on their N18!
