If you want to hear the S55 just roll down the windows. You will hear more spool up, more blow off and more exhaust resonance that way especially in sport+ - especially when you get some clicks on the clock. Just drive it in sport+ mode. I noticed on this new gen the exhaust is more quiet at idle.

I feel that with the F3x more soundproofing and less drag causes the car to feel quite quiet but I can still feel the spool and exhaust with the windows up. Now the grey area is how quiet will the F8x be from the inside? I think this is where BMW can really deliver the experience.

I admit I went running from F10 M5 back to E92 M3 but driving the F30 for a couple weeks I have good feelings about the F8x.

I have a feeling this car will eat oil and tires too and if driven properly will not see that great of improvement gas mileage. Be absolutley sure you want to get rid of your S65 before doing so.
