This also works quite well with a 6MT and someone who knows how to drive it.
I actually like the S65 sound better than a Ferrari F430. Up to 6,000 RPM, anyway. Above that, the S65 sounds very sweet, but the F-car howls like a banshee.
I will definitely miss the sound of the beautifully engineered 4-liter V8, even if the I6 pulls stronger. Let's just hope the M3.4 retains its character!
