So I'm in Istanbul (location of the M3/M4 M Power Experience 2014) on vacation, and heading up to the Blue Mosque this morning I came across an M4. From what I noticed it had performance brakes, DCT, and Nav. In speaking to the driver (a BMW employee) they were there to make a commercial. They were heading into a courtyard that had 2 armed soldiers outside (ultimate riff-raff protection) to film. The driver was cool enough to rev it up a bit, and we chatted. He made the comment that this is "lighter" but that I'd be more happy with my V8 exhaust note compared to this.

After hearing it in person, I gotta say it sounds a bit "tinny" yet raspy. It has a bit of an untuned raw sound, perhaps due to the powerband and where it makes the most power.

Below are the pics and video.
