Coming home last night with the window down I totally agree that the V8 sounds and feels great. It is different from American V8's, but with induction noise and all it sounds wonderful. If the engine is like the engine in the 1M I think this has great potential. Given the short development time with the 1M, compared to the longer gestation period of the new M3/M4, I have great confidence that it will do well. Sure, the M5 hasn't won as much acclaim, but the M division has pride and I think they want the M3/M4 to be phenomenal. I've already put money down on an M4 and have confidence doing so.
