It's a very different proposition the x35i to the x30i sound wise.
I had an 06 E90 330i, and it did indeed sound great, but it is mainly resonant induction noise (not exhaust) on the 330i that you hear from within the car - that great sound you only get with a N/A engine.
Passers by hear the exhaust of course, but the driver mainly hears the induction, especially at higher revs. Tailpipe soundwise the 330i and 335i sound very similare to a passer by IMO.
The 335i has NO induction noise as it's a silenced turbo intake, instead it has a tuned growly exhaust note which TBH was a let down for me at first.
Now I love it, but you need to take a test drive to see.
