Exacly my thought! I feel like the F8x could be a transition between the old M3(E9x) that had no compromise in terms of feel and sound of the engine and the next M3 that could be a hybrid(a la P1, 918 and La Ferrari), so possibly no compromise there either! Pure speculation but if we're lucky, that's what the M3 will evolve into!

i always thought a V8 M3 sounded much better than a 335i. So you see the problem. IF you are a 335i owner then the M4 should be perfectly fine in the sound department

I thoroughly enjoyed the sound of the S65 and feared that I would miss the sound of the V8. Online the S55 sounds terrible. In person, it just sounds angry. Add in the fact that this engine makes a ridiculous amount more power than the S65 and you have a clearcut winner in the "best M3 engine" contest. |

My point is this: I love engine sounds as much as the other guy, really I do. That was a huge part of me buying the V8. It sounds like angels singing in my ears every morning. I also love the sound my E36 makes with a Dinan intake and stock exhaust. It sounds like crazy after 5500 RPM, really nice. I also like the sound that E30 M3 DTM car made in that video against the F80. You honestly cannot a turbo I6 to sound better than one of the best sounding V8s ever made. Sorry it's just not possible. Ask Ferrari. Ask Ford if their Ecoboost engine is going to sound better than the V8 Mustang. I went test driving the car thinking it was going to sound HORRIBLE, worst than a stock 335i even. And I was proven wrong when I heard it in real life (apart from cold start, I still don't like that).

Maybe not the most performing engine in stock form but from a modder point of view, the S65 is a dream! |

As an exemple, just compare the sound of a stock B7 RS4 to the sound of a stock B8 RS5, both have basicly the same engine but the RS5 has a much stronger exhaust note because that's the trend these days. |

plus, on the higher powered cars you have to remove cats / add HFC which costs more money next, you should drive the s55 before making all of these strongly worded statements. I find it hard to belive that someone can have such strong feelings about something they have never experienced. finally, a high revving v8 that makes very little HP from bolt ons is better from a modding perspective than a modern turbo car? now ive heard it all. not even close. the s55 has massive potential if you are into that sort of thing. tune only only e50 has shown almost 550whp already in less than 2 months. with no bolt ons or mechanical mods at all. |

VT2-625($10k)+test pipes(400$)+94octane(available here at the pump) should bring the S65 close to 675hp! removing my cats costed me 400$! And yes I should drive the S55 because I'd really like to try one, but unfortunatly, my dealership don't let anyone test drive the two Ms that are in the show room, I tryed to tell them I'd maybe like to buy one but not without seeing what they're all about but they just don't care! Maybe after they eard my car they thought that there's no way I would let it go for an f8x! But seriously I'm sure the S55 is a marvelous engine, but the fact is that is does'nt sound very good compared to an S65 and sound is what keeps me happy when I can't drive hard! I had turbo cars all my life and I just find the s65 to have something you don't find in turbo engines, a couple of people told me my car sound like a Nascar, and it kind of does, I like it! I still love turbo engines, I even have an 400hp Evo X MR as a beater and I'll probably change it for an RS3 when/if it come out in Canada, but the S55 does'nt interest me much with a supercharged S65 in my driveway! |

We have a driveway full of AMG'S and even I can admit that the M3/M4 are awesome.
