First Video of 2013 BMW M3 (F80) On and Around Nurburgring in Performance Testing!

lasovan · 11-09-2011, 08:06 AM

it undoubtedly is an I6. at 0:54 and on it sounds like the 3.0 csl E9. unmistakeably 6 inline for me.

this car sounds horrible. don't care if its not tuned yet. e46 also sounded horrible but I still loved it. instead of wasting time tuning the sound, just make the damn car not have any turbo lag whatsoever. if they can pull it off using electric turbo and keep the weight in check, i'm in. if i could choose noise, i would want it either silent or diesel locomotive.

hahahahahaahah
M division might just employ your brilliant idea.

People kept on moaning about the loss of the E46's sound when the V8's came around, now something sounds similar it's again not good enough.

And obviously this is just a prototype so it'll sound different than this in the end.

If you don't like that sound go have a look at this

to hear why the potential of its rasp is good

Most of you guys are gonna slap on an aftermarket exhaust anyway

That thing is freaking loud for street use that it just might get egg'ed.

I think the prototype has a V6 in it. The only thing that sounds in-line 6 -ish to me is when the guy gets on it and the car rasps a bit (reminded me of E46 M3). And a V6 can be very raspy so that proves nothing. Rest of the sounds do not remind me of an in-line 6 at all.

SlowinFastout · 11-09-2011, 09:12 AM

im 99% sure its an inline 6

maybe the M4 gets an V8 ?

kasimmmmm · 11-09-2011, 09:17 AM

Have some faith that the fine M engineers will tune it to sound nice in the production model. This is the iconic M3 afterall, not some rust bucket they're developing

gary88 · 11-09-2011, 12:24 PM

Worst BMW ever, sounds like a lawnmower, E92 is better, I'm switching to Audi, etc...

yeah im thrilled about the 6 option, this might bring back the feel of the E46 but of course very modern.

Jonny550 · 11-09-2011, 12:49 PM

sounds more like an N55....

Take it easy on them. The word "prototype" just doesn't register with some people.

yuyue · 11-09-2011, 01:06 PM

from the beginning of the video, is that the turbo or birds?
