BMW M4 M Performance Exhaust Soundcheck

Alpine F31 · 04-05-2014, 12:10 PM

It sounded like he was short shifting just a bit. I'd like to hear it at red line. I hope that wasn't red line....

///M Power-Belgium · 04-05-2014, 12:12 PM

Sounds about 20-25 % louder than stock,quality of sound is better too !

It's all about torque, remember it's a bi/turbo !

True. I'm sure it would sound better if I were the one driving the car instead of watching a video clip.

Just listened to it through my cars speakers and it sounds really good. If you are using a phone or PC speaker forget it cause it totally different.

JohnC28 · 04-05-2014, 12:43 PM

Listening thru headset just makes it a higher quality of bad. I understand this is the traditional sound of I6 M's and S65 is actually the oddball so to speak. But so much better. I come from a long list of American V8's so naturally I'm biased to my S65.
Just maybe the M2 may sway me down the road???...

GotEM4 · 04-05-2014, 01:04 PM

SHHHwwwingg! Sweet sound!

gary88 · 04-05-2014, 01:35 PM

Sounds like a slightly raspier N54/5 performance exhaust, I like it.

Zayken · 04-05-2014, 01:52 PM

Not bad Not good, fot this money is just ok.

The sound is identical to N54 with an aftermarket exaust. All the rest is bla bla, or for the bionic-cyborg-forum-user ears !!!!

Silvertige · 04-05-2014, 01:54 PM

Not a fan. Not happy with the sound. Here's hoping its better in person...

dozaiya · 04-05-2014, 01:54 PM

sounds ok not great
those performance parts though...
no need for aftermarket parts

IMHO, that exhaust sound is less bassy than the exhaust of the S65. It sounds higher frequency to me at least

Oh, and LOVE the sound of the M4 in that clip. Good old BMW I6 sounds are back in the M3

(video needs a good set of speakers/headphones and HIGH volume)

Benstuck · 04-05-2014, 02:17 PM

Sounds good, but not exciting

TheBingoBalls · 04-05-2014, 02:18 PM

Waiting to here what an Akrapovic will sound like on the M3/M4...

Rekrul · 04-05-2014, 02:24 PM

Meh

The current V8 sounds way better. What a shame.

Ash83 · 04-05-2014, 02:28 PM

This is the best you gonna get from an I6!!!

rr006rbc · 04-05-2014, 02:28 PM

The noise is nice but that thing takes off like a bat outta hell! Awesome

I believe that the MPE on the F8X is made by Akra...

Not as amazing as the s65 but compared to other videos thus far it's a lot better.

luiscarlos59 · 04-05-2014, 03:04 PM

I'm with you - I've got the ACM mod and I LOVE it! Cold start is awesome, love that, then it gets quite unless ... you romp it and then it sounds stellar.

S65 + ACM mode = perfect.
