Agreed, the sound is not even remotely as sexy as the E60 M5. That is to be expected as BMW is not using the high revving V10. But you won't be able to quibble with the big time increase in power and torque and the likelihood that there will be so much more power available at speeds that you can actually drive at on the roads without getting arrested.

its turbo cr*p, plain and simple

the fact is actually that the S85 is more than capable for anyone, and has more torque and hp than is ever needed in the US for our infrastructure.

So, we are losing the oratory arpeggio that builds up to an unmatched crescendo of 10 cylinder magic all the way to 8400RPMssssss ....for a few more mpgs


they can keep the extra power, give me my S85!

I'm with you brother, give me the high RPM wail of a real (non turbo) M motor

I had an E46 M3 that was incredible to listen to and drive with motor screaming. I have no interest in a turbo M car
