Hope that they will keep on working on the exhaust tone.

here a direct comparison on the same track with the S65

I guess it's all down to preferences. To me, both in your vid and from being at the ring, the S65 has a slightly dull and uninspiring sound... Compared with many other cars driving there. It just does'nt stand out and if a M3 drives among other cars, you have a hard time hearing the M3.

But, that's me. I am very happy that the M3 is moving away from the "muscle car" V8 sound. But I really get that to many, it's that V8 soundtrack that makes the car!

And, hardly fair to compare a stock development car with a S65 with Akra exhaust.... Still, I preferred the soundtrack from the F80 with S55 engine
