Admittedly its only a short flypast but its better than anything else I've come across so far.

Also in the video are various other BMW prototypes including the M8, 8 series GC, X5,6M(?), new Audi RS6, Merc AMG GTR black series and the 992 GT3 (can definitely hear the effects of the OPF vs the previous generation).

G80 M3 flypast can be heard at 7:50.

Video starts at 2:30 for the start of prototype testing.

Initial impressions seem to be that the G80 could sound quite alright, less raspy than the S55 for sure but it still has elements of the S55 underneath to me, also perhaps a bit more muted, no surprise since it'll have an OPF.

Let me know what you think!

Enjoy

Thanks for the content ... love the relative agility of the M cars but definitely prefer the sounds of Audi RS and AMG cars...
