But I am happy that BMW M is returning to their old ways of building engines based on normal BMW powerplants with the S55, and an I6 definitely belongs in an M3/4. And it's great they put the car on a diet.
As for the sound, it wasn't awful and I'm sure it will grow on me. Plus, it's still in development so the actual car should sound better.

In reality, the S65 does sound lazy with the stock exhaust, that was my biggest grip coming from an E46 M3.
But once uncorked with a proper exhaust
