I think what makes SSII look a bit better on your particular E9X (..although it's still a boring color by comparison) are the differences in the character of the hood design. There's a more pronounced bulge and black hood vents to break up the sea of SSII. Add your CF roof to the mix, and those are all design elements that give the color a bit of character since the color itself lacks that. The SSII E90 M3 used in the sedan comparo thread looks equally as boring as this F82 M4. Nice car BTW! |

I think it sounds pretty good, it has a distinct tone. Different from E92 for sure but I like both. Besides, making such a dumb comment as "worst sounding turbo engine ever" consider this: most euro cars are turbo diesel 4 bangers, all transport trucks are turbo diesel, there are lots of gasoline 4 bangers which are nearly silent. To say that M4 sounds the worst of all of those is just plain stupid. |

I prefer the F30 3er's M Sport rear bumper with M Performance rear diffuser.
With the M4, I'm surprised that there are no fins or anything aggressive going on in the mid-section of the rear bumper/diffuser. Yet there is too much going on with the outer portions of that rear bumper/diffuser. Takes my attention away from the quad pipes, which seem way too understated.

The E92 design is so harmonious and flows from the lights to the rear. I love my SSII too. +1

Taking my statement out of context and insulting me because I expressed what is my opinion makes you a DUMB Idiot and a stupid Troll. I was obviously comparing with turbo engines sound of other performance cars ( Nissan GT-R, Porsche Turbo, etc..) not lawnmowers, buses or vans.

Raspy and resonating ... terrible. Sounds bit like a Mitsubishi Evo.

I'm holding out hope that these are just unflattering photos as the LCI F80 M3 is very much on my radar. I disagree that silver generally is a boring or "Camry" color. Sure it's on the understated/classy side but silver can look very menacing and can help show off a car's lines. May I present Exhibit A: http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforum...gt-silver.html . . . and B: http://modifiedcars.biz/iridium-silv...y-mode-carbon/

V6's and Flat 6's tend to have different sound characteristics than I6's. I mean, the E46 ///M3 is a prime example. It's an engine note that you either love or you hate.........raspy and rackety sounding (..which I love BTW!). The S65 does sound the best to me, and I'll miss the motor, but I am going to love this S55 powered car.

FWIW, Benz's look very good in silver. The angular lines of the car go well with the color. BMW lines are softer and the cars are more curvy by comparison.

Seems to me that people are overreacting to a few bad pictures (again). I'll admit the car certainly doesn't look its best in those shots, but I have no doubt that it will be stunning once we all see it in person.

Well unlike YMB (...a color which also received a lot of criticism), we all tend to have real world experience seeing SSII in person, so a lot can be drawn from that.

I tried to post a link of a 911 too, which has softer lines. My F30 M Sport 335i looked great in Glacier Silver (which I ended up liking more than Titanium). I honestly wish the F30 M Sport front bumper had ended up on the F80 M3 and the F80 M3's front bumper on the F30. That does not read well but you get the idea.

You and I both (..well the former, not the latter ). The F30 M-Sport front bumper is a really nicely designed piece. |

The straight lined hood is awful. Again, stylistically, the roundel should move when the hood is opened. Bring back hoods that open forward!!
