I wish I had personal up close encounter with the F80 M3. Anyway, the V8 on the new M5 had the fart sounds. With that said, the F80 M3 may have it as well or may be even be a lot more silent. We won't really know until the F80 gets unveiled. I'm more of a guy who wants a nice sound coming out of a car out of the dealership and if the F80 M3 started at $60K, I don't want to spend anymore money to make the F80 sound better.

I know sound isn't everything, but I would really want the F80 M3 to at least sound good out of the dealership. The F80 M3 has big shoes to fill since the e90/e92/e93 M3 really has set a benchmark on how the next M3 should be made when it comes to performance/handling, etc.

Who doesn't want speed? Speed is definitely a plus. No brainer there.

Since I have owned my e92 M3, sound has been pretty much a big factor for me.
