I wish I had personal up close encounter with the F80 M3. Anyway, the V8 on the new M5 had the fart sounds. With that said, the F80 M3 may have it as well or may be even be a lot more silent. We won't really know until the F80 gets unveiled. I'm more of a guy who wants a nice sound coming out of a car out of the dealership and if the F80 M3 started at $60K, I don't want to spend anymore money to make the F80 sound better.

I know sound isn't everything, but I would really want the F80 M3 to at least sound good out of the dealership. The F80 M3 has big shoes to fill since the e90/e92/e93 M3 really has set a benchmark on how the next M3 should be made when it comes to performance/handling, etc.

Who doesn't want speed? Speed is definitely a plus. No brainer there.

Since I have owned my e92 M3, sound has been pretty much a big factor for me.

Just my opinion. Hahaha
I honestly agree. I've lived in NJ. Some of these California freeways will have huge holes in the middle of the lane.

Also, the 6er's rear end is lined up nicely with an Accord in the first pic. Looks similar to me
I wondering that too but I'm not complaining. I have been a witness to a few testings around LA, especially in the morning near the heart of Hollywood and on Melrose Avenue. I saw these m3 and m6 but didn't have my phone near me to take the photos. I am glad someone did.

Someone mentioned high-temp testing in Death Valley. Guess that makes sense...

Engineers desired an LA working holiday? Does seem odd to spend the time / money as they could do fwy and warmer weather testing in S. Eur.

Edit: I know they have done hot,hot weather testing in Death Valley in the past so ... that could be the reason - but then I don't know why they don't fly to Mid-East as closer (and I don't mean the dicey parts of the ME!)
