I've been listening to the F80 clips and I'm a bit baffled that I can't hear a single throttle blip at downshifts. This is one of the nicest audio sensations in the current M3. Why is that? Surely throttle blips isn't purely induction noise and should be heard at least on the outside an FI car as well? The ring clip where they have an E90 M3 together with the F80 highlights this the best. The E90s blips can be heard loud and clear at every corner entry while the F80 just produce a little fart. None of the FI cars I owned blipped the throttle so I have no reference.
