Unfortunately my last few post here have not been overly positive (and that's only when I care enough to even post) and I guess this is going to be more of the same......

1. Why the hell is BMW, the brand that ten years ago made cars that sounded the same or better than an Italian exotic, the only German manufacturer left that can't make a decent sounding valve exhaust (with button to open and close) on their M cars? MB have sounded good for years (just a different brand of sound), Audi has been making great sounding valved exhaust for their cars at least as far back as my friends old V8 RS5, and my 991 has one of the BEST German OEM exhaust out there IMO. And here with are with BMW releasing their new M5 with the same old moter and its the same old BS junk stock exhaust, better junk comp package exhaust, or spend the value of a new Carolla for the "M Performance Exhaust" (lol). This is a huge fault for me as ten years ago BMW taught me sound was one of the #1 emotional connections to a car.

2. AT THIS POINT WE ALL KNOW THE COMP PACKAGE IS COMING AND PRETTY MUCH EXACTLY WHAT IT WILL HAVE (because other than stupid trim pieces it's always the same). What the hell is the reason to wait one single model year to put it out other than screwing loyal customers who aren't as in tune with the brand!?!? It's time to do like MB and release the comp package along side the "normal M" (since we have to pay extra for the comp package for what used to be a normal M) and let's preferable not wait until damn near LCI time to do it!

Sad to say but it's looking like very soon will be the first time since I was able to afford a BMW I won't have one in my garage. I really would love one but they are just straying too far from what made me lust after them as a kid and fall in love with them once I could afford one.
