AMG makes a point to have good sounding cars. Even their 4 cylinder AMG engine isn't that bad.

BMW builds a engine for power, emissions, and fuel economy.

AMG builds it for the same thing and sound. Even on the AMG website they advertise the sound.

on top that they are "probably" able to make v8 engines for cheaper. seeing how they put them in most of their cars.

Where BMW uses the 3.0L in every model car. Plus for some reason they dont want a M3 having the same cylinder count as the M5. the F80 should have had a detuned M5 engine.
