This is a BMW video, and BMW know sound is important.

If that's the best they could make it... well, I'm sad.

I think I prefer the looks of the e9x series too. Less fussy and a better stance.

It was never going to sound like its naturally aspirated forebears and personally, I don't really have an issue with how it sounds. It's probably as good as any turbocharged car I've heard and, whilst less distinctive to say, an AMG for instance, it's very different in character by being more race car raspy to AMG's muscle car.

Also, there was so much other background noise on that video and they were clearly trying to emphasise certain parts (with varying success because in some parts I thought it sounded just ok, in others it was pretty good). Regardless, it's very different to what went before and as always, not everyone likes change (if we go back 7 years to when the e92 was launched, that was hardly revered on these pages either).

Ultimately, the car (especially considering its 1500kg weight) is going to be an epic drive - and I for one can't wait to get behind the wheel smile
