I think it sounds pretty darn good, I bet it will sound better in real life.
Here is my old lady: 2007/140K N54/Regular exhaust with cyba quads and downpipes...Yeah I know its inside the garage and it sounds better (Louder) but it seriously sounds pretty close to that on the street. |

Isn't that effing amazing that people call them selves enthusiast and yet can't figure out the sound of a i6 vs V8 and are shocked to see it's not the same? Wtf as if the same so called experts on this forum with the blind hate for the new M have never owned any other cars besides a V8.

He did write that it "obviously" didn't sound like the S65. The word "obviously" probably implying that he knew it would not sound like a V8. I think that the word obviously is very important not to forget when analyzing what he wrote

Just like saying that "a guitar obviously doesn't sound like a violin". Not meaning that I originally thought they would sound the same, in fact saying the opposite. I state that they obviously doesn't sound the same... And if I prefer the sound of a violin it would still be ok to say that it's sad that the guitar doesn't sound like a violin. Nowhere in his post is there anything that implies that he thought the S55 would sound like the S65. He just states that they obviously doesn't sound the same, and that is sad (as he obviously prefers the V8 sound over a I6 sound). |

The E9x was a V8 and it's quite understandable that the sound of the next gen M3 is compared with the previous gen.
If you buy a new M5 wouldn't you also compare the sound of that to your E39 M5? As a reference? The F8x is compared in every aspect with the E9x, such as performance, looks, engine, interior etc. So why not sound as well? |

Bear in mind no one says the S63 sounds like a V10, just that it (obviously) doesn't sound like the S85... To me, such a comparison is just as relevant as comparing different music and discussing which artist/music genre one prefers, or how certain aspects of different music might appeal to different people. Or like comparing the sound of a flat plane crank V8 vs a cross plane crank V8... Regardless, the onboard video here has a nice engine sound IMHO |

Still a sleepy little town with a great beach-side atmosphere. Headed over to Cravings for some dinner tonight

Sounds really good. In another video with Bruno Spengler driving, it sounds deeper with less rasp. In that clip, the windows were half down.
I think this new powerplant sounds excellent. Much better than that close up video of the exhaust makes you think it would.. I think they were cutting out the down shifts to hide the rev matching feature of the manual gearbox. maybe it was not active at the time or it was not tuned well enough to share with the public. |
