As enthusiasts shouldn't we be more concerned about the vehicles performance then the sound?

I developed into an enthusiast for subjective/emotional reasons. Hearing my favorite cars going through the gears, winding out to redline is one of them. Be concerned with whatever you want to be concerned with. |

Is it just me, or does this sound completely different than the Gintani video? I thought that sounded really good, and I didn't hear that much rasp. I think this sounds terrible unfortunately, but I thought the stock M3/4 sounds much better IRL.

I'm not sure, but call Casey at RWE (818) 802-7327. The units should be done soon.

I agree but the fact is almost everyone thats heard the f80/f82 in person say it sounds great. Yes the v8 might sound better but this is the future guys accept it and stop trying to justify keeping your E90 which is a great performance car by bashing the f80 every chance you get.

What is the consensus on needing a tune of some kind to have these run right?

I personally think the S55 sounds as good as any other I6 cars. Stock for stock, I think it definitely sounds better than the S54 to be honest. So if that's the case, I don't think it can be called a disappointment by any means (which was subjective to begin with)

Give the F80 6YEARS and it'll be the last real M car

I know you like the sound, but I still believe that videos don't lie(I bought six exhaust systems based on youtube clips and always got what I expected), and it's not like there's only one or two poor quality videos to judge from, we've seen many many good quality videos and it's always the same thing, a sound that is less then pleasing from the exterior and almost too loud to be real from the interior. Also I don't think that the E46 vs F8x stock sound comparaison means much, other then maybe the fact that 15 years ago, most cars came with a tame exhaust note, even the E9x was too tame for most enthousiast. IMO what's really important is how awsome the engine can sound with the right exhaust, and from what we've seen with the Akra and the M Perf, it seems like the S55 don't even have the capacity to sound awsome with an aftermarket exhaust! Hopefully I'm wrong on this one, but we'll see! Anyway, all I'm saying is that it's good that people are bashing on the F8x(to certain extend) because that way, BMW will know what they need to do with the next M3/M4, and maybe even with the M2! |
