I think exhaust flaps aren´t open in video. Here is one video Porsche´s exhaust sound. Different settings make huge difference. Indeed you can see that all exhaust gas coming from inner pipe.

Funny how all those other clips posted, e92, 991S etc, sound so much better on these same shitty speakers.

At idle/very low revs, the E60 M5 sounds like a diesel. I think that is what he was referring to. Obviously once it gets going it sounds glorious...

Bit embarrassing buying the M 3 /4 and it sounds like a lawnmower. Clearly BMW has done nothing to change the poor exhaust sound from the initial reviews of the car which highlighted this issue.
You don't buy a car like this for it to sound so poor |

I drive a manual E46 M3 coupe, for the last 8 years, and can't wait for the F80. Ready to part ways.

Translates to 28 MPG combined but wow thats a lot for a car with 420 bhp! Guessing the manual will get 26-27 mpg combined

I'm listening to it on digital output to a velodyne sub, reference speakers and a yamaha receiver. Not a high end system but adequate. I don't care for the sound. Bear in mind though that I drive (until this summer) an E92 M3.

Honestly it's no NA V8, but I think it sounds ok, purposeful. I don't mind it.

I've ranted and hated on BMW's Active Sound and now I know why they developed the technology. The exhaust sound is terrible--at least in this clip. I guess Akrapovic will be taking my money yet again when I get my next M3.
On a positive note the cars look well designed and I look forward to driving one--more torque, less weight, more CF. All good except sound. |
