I doubt tht smoothness was a concern, with the introduction of the N20. As usual BMW is primarily addressing the other German competition. Which also introduced, their new SLK, at the NY auto show.

"The 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 will be available in the showrooms in the U.S. starting in June 2011. Mercedes-Benz did not go in to the details about the powertrains that will be used. It is expected that a new generation of direct-injected four- and six-cylinders will be standard and connected to a reprogrammed 7G-TRONIC PLUS transmission."
