Not sure how this sounds any different than a 335. It is hard to tell from one video, but if this is the video BMW picked to showcase the car (and exhaust) then I am worried. I actually like the sound of the inline 6. It screams. That's great. The exhaust note however is very subdued. This doe snot strike me as a performance car. The 335 with an M performance exhaust sounds MUCH better.


The cynic in me says it won't really matter anymore, since you're getting sounds piped into the cabin anyway through the speakers. The conspiracy theorist says this is part of BMW's plan to sell more aftermarket f80 exhaust. The reasonable guy says it might be better in real life. The enthusiast says this sucks!
