It sounds horrible compared to what the previous M3/M4 cars. Non of the M product lines sound as hideous as the new M3/M4 cars. This is has been a major complaint on this car. In order to correct the issue you will have to dump another 3k-5k into the car which. Its just IMO

And BTW - the F8x generation is barely more expensive than the E9x generation, and will run circles around it [sorry E9x owners - I loved mine, but the F8x is unquestionably better in every way, unless you want to count sound - and I actually think F8x is just as good but in a different way]... |

While I still think the E9x genreration was a great car (and still is) - I can't stand hearing people who have little or no time in the F8x generation trashing it - not sure if it's people who are bitter or who can't get into the new generation right now - but trashing the F8x is a joke. Objectively it's a joke to trash it:
Lap Times (11) Track M3 M4 Nordschleife 8:05.00 7:52.00 Tsukuba 1:05.70 1:04.80 Hockenheim Short 1:14.30 1:12.80 Laguna Seca (post 1988) 1:42.96 1:39.69 Autozeitung test track 1:40.10 1:38.90 Contidrom 1:35.11 1:34.41 Willow Springs - Streets of Willow 1:27.67 1:23.73 Sachsenring 1:40.90 1:37.74 Autocar Wet Handling Track 1:16.90 1:25.70 Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours Club 1:27.40 1:23.72 Ring Knutstrop (Conf 2) 1:15.60 1:13.00 Technical data Engine 4000 284 bhp/tonne Specs Max speed 280 kph 280 kph 0 - 100 kph 4.3 s 4.0 s 0 - 100 mph 9.4 s 8.5 s 0 - 200 kph 15.2 s 12.9 s 0 - 150 mph 24.6 s 20.6 s 0 - 40 kph 1.8 s 1.4 s 1/4 mile 12.4 s @ 114 mph 12.1 s 1000 m 23.5 s @ 230 kph 21.8 s Power/weight ratio 262 bhp/tonne 284 bhp/tonne Subjectively - newsflash guys - the F8x not only accelerates way faster, but it corners tighter, faster and flatter - the initial turn in is basically on rails. Oh - and before you say that it's not as fun - no way - E9x was a lot a fun - F8x is yet another level more exciting. Quit living in the past and try it - you'll be shocked at how fun it is... |

Yes!!! I love the new management! You cant have a MX-5 competitor that's FWD! Motor Trend just did a test comparing the new MX 5 and BRZ and brought a golf R to the fight and realized it wasn't even relevant. Thank god for new BMW management realizing this as well. Create a small mini sports car. That I will appreciate

As far as new C63, is it supposed to handle well now or something? Because MB has always been a boat of a car with a shut ton of power, mainly good at straight line and not much else. M3 always out handled it and performed better overall.

On-topic, I'm curious as to BMW's direction with the Z cars. I've been wondering why there hasn't been a new Z car out yet... Would love a Z3/4 M car.
