No it is not only you. Some others that saw the vid also tought that F82 and F80 sounded differently. I too think that way, and for me F80 sounds like V6 and F82 sounds like I6. The thing is that in production both will get the same engine, and if we has not got the engine confirmed, within BMW the choice was already made. So there are three possibilites to this:

1. Both F80 and F82 have I6
2. Both F80 and F82 have V6
3. F82 does not have production engine, but tests another engine (N58?) in F82 chassis.
