I think the exhaust sound is defined by the market as in they have fewer limitations in the US than they do in Europe. I am not sure how it is in Australia.
As for the looks, I don't think anyone would have an issue with a flashier look if it was done right. Right now it looks like an angry beaver showing his oversized teeth. |
Agree re looks. I think they've gone for attention and not a high quality design that resonates. Attention grabbing works in the immediate term but quickly fades over time where quality design prevails. No doubt future designs will pick up and re-install the essence of BMW design.
