It's like aging right. When you are 35 years old, you can't eat and drink and get wasted like you did in college 15 years ago. You have to worry about your heart and such. You also don't look as good, you have saggy breasts and big belly. You can't run up a flight of stairs as fast and feel out of breath right away. Now you can sit and complain all day about how you are not 20 anymore or you can be happy with what you have at 35 that you didn't 15 years ago such as a beautiful daughter that gives you a hug or a wife who makes you happy. You need to find happiness in different things.
It's pretty much the same thing here. The badass sounding exotic V8 is gone. It's the I6 what we have, but we have much better fuel economy. Improved interior. Tech gadgets and so on. M is an M.

first off i realize its a V6 and you cant compare a V8 to a V6 but still it should be a V8 so it could sound like it should. and this aging thing, how old are you? because im 38 and im in better shape and look younger than alot of people younger than me so you really cant compare. regardless the V6 M3/M4 sounds like crap for the aggressiveness it maintains on the outside. i expected better. honestly a V6 G37 sounds better than these cars.
