Just my $0.02 why I think BMW screwed themself with dropping the V8 and going a little bit more aggressive to attract limited section of people. It is still a great car but I think more people will jump ships with this car to AMG and RS5.
oh and that fart noise is here to stay. somehow everyone else with turbo engines doesn't have fart noise. but BMWs do...

i remember showing my friend a sound clip " what the fuk with that fart sound" "sounds awful"
