Really does sound like a V6, especially at idle. Of course there isn't much to hear thanks to good ol turbos. But my bet's on an S63-based TT V6.

Even with the camo on, you can just tell that its going to be a hot car, from the stance, fender flars, wheels and so on. Can not wait to see the final product! Its going to be a very attractive M3

No question that is a V-6 from the engine note. I'm sure it will be a powerhouse and I think it makes more sense than using the n55 as a starting point.. But the note is probably going to be closer to a mid-90s GM than I would like! Side note, those wheels look outstanding

how far do we think this is off from official debut and then us sales? - i mean it seems pretty much production ready if its already done this much winter testing.

+10 The proportions look really good on it, as far as I can tell... Maybe it's just with the cameo and my eyes, but I think the proportions are better balanced in the front and rear than on the F30 and even F30 M-Sport. |

that just seems so long - 2 yrs away if it's practically done with winter testing now. i thought ///M was trying to release cars earlier and that's why theyve been more involved with the platform earlier in development.

About sound you can get alot diffrent exhaust sound depending on how you route the exhaust pipes for example single pipe,two to one,two side by side,two side by side connected by an X ect.
And also how the exhaust manifolds are routed to the turbochargers. All i want to say is that just because it is a I6 or V6 it doesnt have to sound a certain way. And i guess BMW test some diffrent combinations. |

What's an R6? Do you have any other impressions of the car? Was it camouflaged? Spill the beans, sir.
