And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why I said people should wait until the production cars are given to people 'on the road' before making judgements on sound.
All the press previews were done on track only. Why? Because they can get away with using cars without OPF filters and cats. They do it all the time at press events. I remember speaking to one of the BMW reps at Goodwood who was looking after the BMW M Performance show car where he admitted half the reason the M Performance exhaust sounded so good at the event (an M2 at the time) was because it had the cat removed.
Never judge a product before it's in the wild. Having worked in Marketing for a number of years I know the crap they pull when it comes to press releases, review samples etc. Now we see it for what it is and it's basically an S55 sound. Also take note my European friends, this is how it sounds without an OPF. It will sound even worse by the time we get it.
