Definitely second the comments about how parking garages always make cars sound better...

It sounds great, and the exterior looks leagues better than the E9x ever did, AND I OWN ONE.
Agree fully on the raw performance but there is more to cars than simply the numbers they achieve. There is much to be said for the thrill of the experience and acoustics (and of course redline) is ABSOLUTELY a key component of the thrill factor of any sports car. BMW, with or without an aftermarket exhaust will be taking a step backwards with regards to acoustics, redline and the associated thrill and enjoyment of those with the new FI cars.
