Sounds is just about perfect.
If you search the forums, you will see plenty of people complaining that the exhaust is too quiet, and plenty more that it's too loud (C&D is in this camp). To me it says that it's just right!

F80 M3 is lighter, more powerful, and faster than the predecessor in every way. There are fluff options, but it's up to you whether to pick or skip them.
I call that performance.
Where do you see luxury in that?
