V8 M5/6/GC noise from the outside

[HoHoHo]

29 degrees and I was happily driving rather sedately past Heathrow this afternoon with my windows down enjoying the warm weather when a new M6 GC pulled up alongside and then gave it some beans.

Feck me

I do hope my F10 sounds like that, bloody amazing as he pulled away and I never had any idea just how good they sound.

It was also a lovely blue and looked absolutely bloody brilliant

[HoHoHo]

Does the standard M5 have the same exhaust as the comp pac?

I can get a crack fro 2nd to 3rd but not in any other gears.

Umm, same engine, no?

But is it the same exhaust and sound?

Drove Anglesey last week & got told by several people that my F10 M5 sounded amazing as it was passing the pit lane at full chat. Defo one of the better sounding cars, however my old R35 GT-R 650R complete with full Titanium worst did sound better as that was also on track.

Ah, now I've heard the GT-R's at Goodwood and they sound pretty special

Just been to a supplier and with the windows down the odd crack as you go from 2nd to 3rd is great

Couple of questions......

Why does it only happen sometimes even though I seem to be accelerating in a similar fashion (almost like it requires a small fuel build-up prior to the crack?)

Why only in 2nd to 3rd

28 degrees, windows down, M5 going ROAR.................

mine pops/cracks when I hit the throttle than ease off quickly just as the turbos start to spool. Sound awesome!!

Yep, gives a deep rumble as well
