It always sounded the same. The crackles and pop, after a while, sounded so consistent it sounded fake. Compare that to my M3 which has so much more character in the noises that it makes. Though I have done quite a fair bit of mods in that dept - carbon intake, carbon airbox, test pipes, exhaust.

So now I'm just gonna mod the hell out of my M3, maybe even get a custom interior, and be happy with it. It's not as fast as a C63S or any of the newer generation of turbo muscle cars, but damn if that S65 doesn't put a smile on my face every time I start her up.
It is a beautiful car and it pulls so much!

But in the end it's turbo. There isn't a single turbo car that sounds well. They may sound loud, but the musicality is completely lost.

Does it sound better than an M4? Likely yes. Does it sound 'good' for a sports car? Nopes
