well, as i get behind the wheel of a 1M pretty often and drove it on the Ring i'm not that worried about the loss of sound or anything in the engine bay. it's a really nice sounding and responsive engine, even if it's a turbo. And lets be honest: the M3's I6 are legendary. i think the F8x will be a big step up for the M3/4. i recently read about 450PS in SportAuto (about 444hp for you, i think?), so that might not be the problem. target weight is similar to the E46 and that's a huge thing. it'll be a beast if those specs that were called "no secret" in that test are right.
