is it just me thinking this, they were quieter and smoother? maybe cos of the catalytic converter? motronic upgrade to 1.3, different exhaust design? i had a later one once with a stainless steel exhuast, with one silencer at the rear, it sounded like god having an orgasm!

it means the other ones you've been in were knackered
find a review of when the 325i was launched (or just about any other bmw six), and see how smooth and quiet they were said to be when new - all of them!

The older style ones are probably just more worn in general, so sound louder.
