We had a 3.2L Inline-6 engine that screamed like a family of chainsaws caught in a fire all the way to 8000RPM.

If everyone "reserved judgement" until they saw, felt, drove, heard, listened, licked, the car in person, we would have nothing to talk about here.

I loved my high-revving I6s with the power curve it brought with it. I love my high-revving V8 with an even higher redline even though it's more exotic and less of a screamer. These are the things I love about all the M3's I've owned.

The new M3 will be different, thats for sure. I, along with many, might like it, love, it or hate it, or might feel that while it's still a good car, the values of the natural M car are no longer there. I really hope not but it's possible.

Either way, the M division is phenomenal. I'm sure the car will be nothing short of amazing, even if it caters to a new crowd and not the high revving, all the power up top junkies like myself.

Here's to hoping the redline hits at least 8k and the power is put down very linear and predictable like past M3s and NOT like 335s.

Sounds Jappy. ðŸ‡¯ðŸ‡µ

Love the fart sound. It sounds like my JCW Coupe. Man I'm so excited. It's going to be hard to choose between the M4, M3, and M2.

JohnC28 · 08-30-2013, 10:00 PM

meh.

Still sounds like every ricer with a fart pipe in my neighborhood.
OK if you like that.
Not for me; but I'm biased!

Wow indeed!

GOLFFRR · 08-30-2013, 10:41 PM

Good to know its back driving around near the dealership. I'm going to have to keep my camera ready for when I run into it!!

It's getting closer, can't wait for the release dates on these new beast!

Sounds like 80% of the aftermarket n54 exhausts to me! I'm betting that it has a dual configuration. ie two exhaust pipes running to the rear muffler!

It is a valved sport exhaust.

Not standard, it will be an add-on option.

I wish I could have spotted this thing, I was on PCH last night!

I'm sure you will see it if you spend a few hours in venice/Santa Monica/ Malibu. I always spot these prototypes in those areas.

jtvr4 · 08-31-2013, 12:03 AM

Sounds like a 335 with a catback... Yay or something.

crispy tofu · 08-31-2013, 12:13 AM

to me, it sounds weak. The E9x V8 sounds much more like an exotic race car. Glad to have the E92.

That Loaded CSL is supercharged, so not really a fair comparison.

It does sound awesome though. Search Loaded CSL Nurburgring in YouTube to see hear it really howl. I think they managed a 7.22 full lap!!

wisesoul · 08-31-2013, 04:48 AM

Not sure why "ricer" is being used to describe the sound. Seems like anything less than 8 cylinders is automatically ricer lol. It is certainly raspy and has its own character! I like it, can't wait to hear more!

You're just bitter since new M3/4 will soon rape you on the streets

There's the excuse I was looking for to take the weekend off and fly down to California, rent a car and cruise the PCH!
