I think it all depends on what you like, clearly. Some people love the sound of turbo cars and 6 cylinders, others prefer v8.
Ive always liked v8 sounds, but never loved em. I am a huge fan of higher pitched v8 sounds and 6 cylinder sounds. My favorites are the flat 6 from Porsche, the gtr and i loved the way my 1m sounded with maddad midpipe. I also liked the way my e46 m3 sounded (with a couple mods). So, i think it just depends. If you are a v8 guy, you will probably never love this sound. Fortunately for me, im a 6 cylinder guy and a turbo guy, so i like it and don't care what anyone else thinks I do think the car will certainly elicit different emotions (not sure if good or bad) when heard in person. EDIT : and anyone who thinks this sounds like a civic with a muffler is an idiot / troll. Not even close.

Racy, ricey or both. That is the question that I guess for this car can only be determined live. I'd say from this there is some hope that it's leaning more towards racy than ricey.

Went to check it out during lunch. The sales person advised us that "this is currently the only M4 in production." Uhmmm, yeah. Anyways, I took a pic of the exhaust tips, and some various things I found interesting:
1) Interior. Extended leather w/white contrast stitching. 2) Cluster. Love the back lighting of the circular part of the needles. The "M" logo on the cluster lights up as well when the doors open. 3) Seats. The Recaros were nice and comfortable. 4) Cage. The cage was pretty awesome, as was the rear seat close out. I asked the sales person if BMW was planning to sell a rear close out as an "accessory" *lol*. 5) Exhaust tips. Seemed to be a lot of convo about them. He declined our request to open the hood, citing it was "too hard to open and close." Guess he's never opened spring-latched hood pins or something, as it didn't seem like it was that big of a deal. This car was also equipped w/the HUD. There was also a 6MT M235i in black sitting on the lot, stickered @ ~$48k. We we offered a test drive, but declined. Quite happy w/my E90 M3, thank you very much. |

Additional Exhaust Pics
Here are a few additional exhaust pics from underneath the car. Very interesting routing of the piping. Sorry for the fuzzy phone pics.
Enjoy!

The width on the rear of the M4 looked great. After seeing the car I'm going to add LED headlights and probably go with black wheels. The polished spokes and rim is clearcoated with smoke grey tint so the contrast is more subtle than I expected. Sir Lion's pic are a very accurate representation.
The exhaust sounded louder, more aggressive and racy than I would have ever guessed. I have a full Akra on my E90 M3 and I'm not disappointed at all. Lots of depth and boom on start up, very nice, maybe too loud for me. I got to rev it and the motor picked up RPMs very quickly, no hesitation and damn it sounded great ringing off the buidings. Not as smooth as the V8 and Akra, but it very much had it's own character, this wasn't I-4 Civic w/ a can in any respect so let's just stop that silliness. The muffler itself was quite small, not big at all, must be light. A few more pics. The cage was a bolt in and sano. The full leather interior had some nice touches, like where the dash ends at the door. The smoke titanium look finishing trim beneath the carbon dash trim looked great, glad it's not too bright or too dull. Last edited by consolidated; 04-07-2014 at 08:11 PM.. |

Looks like they got rid of the butterfly valve on the exhaust. And replaced the exhaust muffler.

I stopped by earlier after they detailed the M4 and got some video. Full body shots.
