The Ghibli will likely have shoddy fit and finish, be useless in colder climates and need a punch card at the service department with new electrical gremlins and pieces falling apart faster than you can get home from a visit BUT it will sound absolutely fantastic, with a raw, racy tune that will catch your attention and make you smile. Do I want the new M3 to sound like a Maserati? Yes, please. Do I want a Maserati? No thanks.

The N54 and N55 has this nice muted growl signaling effortless power with a my bite is much worse than my bark persona. The F80 however seems loud in the wrong way, it sounds like a loose blaaaarp like a tuner fart can. It doesn't seem to have that raw, racy high pitch like the Ghibli seems to have. Maybe the sound of the F80 is just part of the camo. And yes it's from a camcorder from a distance but when the E90 M3 was in the same footage it sounded great as usual.
