We want out cars t have duel characters but scream and shout when people try to give that to us. I am fine with it, as long as the noise is genuine BMW amped up to compensate for sound deadning stuff. |

Sounds pretty good to me! Hope that is the real engine noise and not just a soundtrack through the car's speakers though

So far so good.. But, wish they'd spend some time with the AMG audio engineers.. Not really a Merc fan, but those AMG's V8's are the ballzzz!! I have a buddy with an SL400 (V6 Turbo) and even it sounds mean... Again, too early to pass judgement..

I was a BMW devotee for decades until current management. They neutered the marque. This management group will be one of the funnier jokes of automotive history.

BMW had it right with the S85 and now due to whatever regulations are stopping them from making it sound good the cars all sound bkeh

It's "all right" at best, especially given that it's a V8, the turbos muffle the sound as usual.
BMW - I have 2 of your cars but you won't get me out of my Carrera GTS with this kind of exhaust note. Peace. |

Sounds great to me! BMW has always been very tame with stock exhaust notes. (Could take some notes from Aston or Jaguar for stock sounds)
However! it sounds slightly better than previous version in the F10. I love loud and in your face, catless straight pipe would be right as rain on this one. |

I see some "Likes" here for the G30 M5,...and it's soundtrack and some 'ho-hum' not so favorable mentions,...boring, etc! I wonder how the 'ho-hums' and dislikes will change after the "F10 and G30" have their 'stock for stock' match-up at the track! Can't wait to see this one on YouTube!

Imagine what like-for-like is going to be like....
It sounds like a really good baseline to me, and I totally agree with the 'tame' comment above about stock exhausts - my 335i had a 'night and day' moment going from stock to M Performance; similarly a mate of mine riding behind my M4 on a bike commented on how mental it is when flooring it, compared to stock, particularly in tunnels (again M Performance). One could argue it's 'lame' having to buy the BMW equivalent of 'aftermarket', however, silly exhausts are not everyone's cup of tea and BMW know this....

I'm amazed at how AMG seems to produce their twinturbo V8s with awesome sound and BMW continues to fall short in this department and has to pump sound through the speakers to improve the sound.

That "farting" noise is the BMW anti-lag feature maintaining boost while the throttle is reduced for the gear change and has nothing to do with the transmission. The F10 had it too but was less pronounced probably due to the faster gear changing of the MDCT. All things being equal, if the automatic changes gears slower than MDCT (which it will), then the car has to "fart" longer and louder to maintain boost while changing gears. |
