Is the F8X Raw?

How does this compare with it's previous M brothers?

I have only driven the E92 and i found that car to be a bit more muted than the F82 i have. Yes the V8 sounds good, but on the car i was driving it didn't sound that loud, the car seemed well insulated, it wasn't scary to drive, i felt you could extract the performance far easier on it.

My F82 is mostly stock with MPE and downpipes, Potenza tires and that's it but it's very loud, very racey, in my case it doesn't feel that well insulated, it isn't that comfortable, it drones, it tires me out on long drives. It is also flat out scary to drive hard as a combination of the limited insulation, loudness, stiff suspension and vibrations and sense of speed gives it that raw factor.

Never drove the previous Gens nor the G8x but i have sat in many other non bmw cars including a carerra 4S and the even the porsche felt quite a lot more refined, easy to drive fast, and not much theatrics.

What is everyones opinion?
