A4 2 pipes on left only in b8 generation. s4 quad pipes, RS4 dual oval pipes... b9 A4, dual pipes, b9 s4 quad pipes, rs4 quad) . so its obvious which model you have. I remember lexus owners complaining that IS350 didn't look different than IS250 at all so i'm guessing market research says that people who get the big engine need the visual differentiation to justify the money they spent.
I totally get that they need to differentiate between models, but quad would've been more fitting since it's the closest thing to an actual "m". I'm not gonna hit get it because of the tailpipes though lol.. it does seem color wise it will share the same with the 330i.. I did hear the exhaust in a video from a 330i msport and it sounded very similar to the x3 m40i. I'm looking forward to the configurator!
