Video: X3 M40i revs in real life

I think it sounds good. Better than my old X3 35i but I would not go as far as my non comp F80

Better get a V8, nothing sounded sexier than S65 at cold start-up...To me this sounds better than a stock F80 M3/M4

I don?t think this is a bad thing.

At idle it sounds like my childhood bicycle with a playing card in the spokes going down the street at full speed.

Doesn’t mean it looks good. The round tailpipes are much better...

See, I disagree. Never thought the stock S65 sounded all that impressive in stock form. It certainly sounds better with an aftermarket exhaust than the S55, but the difference is negligible in stock form, IMO anyway.

You'll get 4 of them on the F97, but it's two years away.

I can only imagine the wonderful turbo spool with a catless DP on this.

Stock sounds really good IMHO. Similar to an M2 which everyone goes crazy about.
