The only M engine I truly enjoy the sound of is the S85 M5 V10.
THAT engine was the high point of BMW's M engines. With an exhaust system it really sounded like an F1. IF BMW had put one a redeveloped version of their V10 or even a high-revving V8 in the new M4 coupe I would have traded my Z for one. In Australia these cars cost well into the six figures - over $180k so sound means a lot to me as part of the overall experience! Now will wait for the AMG C63 COUPE as M4 is definitely out of my list. Also the new Jag F-Type interests me but wonder about its quality. Last edited by Alext; 07-04-2014 at 06:34 AM.. |

A new stock F8X owner should do a sound comparison to a stock E9X.
The comparison would include same conditions, microphone, camera, driver and attempt to accelerate in a similar fashion. And it would be good to see these at idle, in cabin, launch, drive by. And we could all then tell how the stock F8X compares. From the testimonials of some new owners the F8X sounds exotic and even better than expected. These early mods and aggressive efforts to improve on the 'new' are not making sense to me. OP, the car sounds cheap with this gutting job. |

Yeah, I feel like my sister's 135i STOCK sounds better than the M4... The 135i retained the i6 sound and added turbo sounds... The M4 just sounds... disappointing... Looks gorgeous though..

Why? Made it sound worse...also it looks like they removed the cross over. Thats got to hurt low end and midrange torque. Not that the F8X S55 isn't lacking any.

I own both a 2011 E90 M3 and a 2015 F80 M3. egad, the F80 M3 sounds like crap. It becomes less offensive once you are actually accelerating on the throttle and fairly guttural 4000rpm + but it's not a good sounding car. It sounds like a diesel at idle as well. The E90 M3 is far and above the better sounding car. But, it's waaaaay slower. Like noticeably even in day to day driving. |

I think it sounds amazing! So much better than my E92 M3.
Not.

Sounding like crap or not... I still can't get my head around why anyone would go through the trouble of hiding a resonator bypass.

In the M5, you could take a metal wire and wire the flap open to make it stay open permanently. It was a 5 minute mod which I had in my M5 as well. Can you do the same in the M3? It may not be that easy because the flap was all the way at the end in the M5, in the M3, it looks like you have to lift the car a lot and go under.

So the F80 is that much faster, huh? It sounds like a super fun car. I think the objective in change is to enjoy it as it is, and not to hope to keep the best of the past and the future. But rather, it is better to accept the F80 as a different car. |

Regardless of how this mod sounds, I, for one, want to thank the OP for giving this mod a try. The more people that try mods the better off we'll all be in search of a good solution that will benefit everyone.
So - THANKS OP! |
