Here is a bad boy 900 hp BMW F1 turbo engine.
I never have an issue with what type of an engine but rather how much theatricals, performance and fun factor that engine provides. An engine with no noise or just ok noises is half the fun gone. I think BMW needs to work on making the turbo engine sound better so does every other manufacturer. Also, the free flowing fast revving nature needs to be incorporated in a better fashion into turbo series of engines across the manufacture lineups. The pleasure of S65 or S85 are that they are very free quick revving engines they go through rpms like nothing due to their power band and character. I believe that nature makes it more fun. I predict we will go to more linear power band with electric + turbo combination with no turbo lag. However, sound factor and free revving factor on turbo motor still needs to be worked on by automotive industry in general.

Or use a electric trubo that has little to no exhaust gases being routed to the turbos. That kind of stuff is years away also. Another thing is that a lot of people don't really care about sound that much either. They like the power more than anything else. turbo engines can make huge power in this sense. so many people are happy. BUT the reason why we went turbos was to reduce emissions, increase MPG, reduce engine size etc. So the automotive world was dealt a hand to play, i am sure things will improve. |

I wonder how much this car has been driven by some commentators.
It is free-revving, fast-revving, exciting, and sounds glorious. It is not the glory of a v8, but instead the raucous bad-behavior of a schoolyard bully who mated with a large-bore Porsche flat six. |

To summarize, you made a claim and did not actually support it with anything (reference to text, etc). The point was then discussed and debated extensively between Modkrazy and myself. You continue to say "I was right"....but, still, without any support at all. But, I guess one can't argue with crazy so I suppose I would be done with you then. |

Interestingly enough, they are going to 2-liter DI 4-pots with KERS, so it seems like BMW's flat-6 racing days will remain in the past. |

You're not allowed to post anything that's wrong on the internet. Right? The internet police enforce this.

I disagree with this part. If one is any type of an automotive enthusiast the sound a car makes or motorcycle makes plays a big part in its appeal. There is a reason why after market exhaust sell like hot cakes. Cars like Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche, Corvette, Jaguar, Aston, BMW M cars of past, MB AMG cars, Mustangs, Camaros, Ford GT, Pagani, etc...etc....are lusted after not just for their power or speed but for the unique sounds the engine of each car produces to enhance theatricals.
The ones who do not care for sound are already driving Toyota Prius, Buick, or some hush hush Lexus. These are the same folks who look at a car as a mere tool and could not be bothered less about how they got from one place to another as long as they did in comfort. They would rather have the car drive itself while they play on their phone and #### tag it all over the net. I have yet to meet a single automotive enthusiast who does not care about the glorious sound that a cars engine makes.

I can see your point but at the same time for now not everyone has had a privilege to drive a car that is hardly out. You would have to take the word of those who do this for a living. All of them find the new engine full on power but less on those other factors I mentioned. The sound is not always the same on internet as it is in person but from all accounts and videos the NA V8 and V10 sang far more gloriously. The turbo engine is not as fast revving as the V8 nor as high. The need to rev fast is mitigated by abundance of torque. These are some simple things that are quiet evident.

Hello there, very pleased to meet you here; I have no interest in sound quality, loudness or anything else in that area, as long as there is something (not liking e-cars without any sound). I am more interested in the sound of the tires, transmission, chassis and surroundings.

Feelings are mutual, as you failed to make a point and by constantly harping on it no matter how argumentative your nature is it will not change the facts. You have not been able to support anything except repeat your claims over and over like a parrot.
I had already realized the crazy part and kept my replies short to you when you followed me to my other threads and posted in them. Now relax and take a chill pill and lay off crazy Quote:

I was at the track with some friends few weeks ago. There was a guy there with a modded 335i. he had a stock exhaust, with downpipes. the car didn't have much sound to it at all. I asked him about his setup, he was more about making power than anything else. Could careless about sound. That was just one example. |

A larger aftermarket downpipe on a 335i even with regular exhaust will make it louder than normal. By itself if one wants the quietest mod for most power the guy was going in wrong direction. His best place for most power and least sound would have been a tune.
I have seen guys like that myself and even had started a thread about it few years back as I went through it. It was hilarious that most guys that were scared to hear their car glorious engine or were forced into reverting back was not doing it by their own choice but were usually doing it for girl friends and wives or for other social aspects. Now there are always those that just drive BMW for status and nothing more or the prius type. Quote:
