Does this basically make the engine spool up faster, having a better ratio? Is the difference noticeable vs. the older 4.1?

Bummer, I just saw this. Would've been quite last-minute if I hear it 10 days ago, but I'd definitely consider it.

The N20, I had the 2016 228i.
In my reading also found out the HP goes up when BMW switched to the B48, which is also in the I4 turbo Supra. Interesting.
