Crazy People Bothered by Amplified Engine Noise?

I've always thought the 3.0-liter I-6 in my '95 M3 sounded awesome, and hey, redline is less than 7K. I guess I'm supposed to stop thinking that way now, because the F80 is must sound bad because it's a 3.0-liter I-6. I'm so glad I follow this forum. How else would I know WHAT to think?

Ppl just dont get it do they?

How is a turbo engine going to sound the same as an na engine regardless if it was the same cylinder configuration or not?

i think we all agree why the engine sounds the way it sounds. thats clearly not the debate.

OK, I admit the idea of piped noise feels creepy to me. I'll reserve judgment on that one. If it gives me decent engine sound without any booming in the cockpit, I may become a believer. Maybe...

Simple...it's phony. Bad in a car that is focused on being authentic.

This.

Philosophically, I loathe the idea. In reality, it just doesn't matter. If they didn't market the damn function, no one would ever know it was there.

there should never be booming in a cockpit.
