The noise. Everyone complains about it... I don't think its a bad sounding car. It seems like while daily driving this on the street it will have a very good sound presence with its deep and bassy exhaust. The E9X sounds amazing in the upper RPMs but really lets down when doing casual driving on the street. I've always liked how the E9X M's sound like a fast car, far away, even when they're close to you but sometimes its underwhelming.

This car sounds great and will command a presence at all RPMs it seems. What's interesting is that the prototypes dont all sound the same...

That noise is most likely the ceramic brakes. I could be wrong but I believe the BMW turbo engines use diverter valves not blow off valves.
