At around 400 miles these exhaust characteristics have disappeared completely. Now the car sounds like an F30 340i when I let off the throttle, burbles are very quiet and muddy

When the engine is cold the exhaust goes back to sounding good, but within minutes the engine warms and the burbles and upshift bangs disappear completely.

Anyone else with a couple hundred miles on their M340i observed the same thing? I remember my F30 340i was usually slightly louder burble-wise when it was cold, although I don't recall the exhaust characteristics changing significantly in the first 600 miles.
Not the same car or engine but I also feel my 2018 X340i had a lot more burbles and pops when I first bought it.
