I'm sorry guys but this sounds exactly the same as the S55... the start up is the classic 'lawnmower' sound and yeah it sounds better with the valves open but no better or worse than the S55. I'm actually surprised they didn't do a better job considering pretty much the only complaint about the previous M3/M4 was the engine sound... ah well.

Correct, the euro spec cars have the particulate filter and EU noise regulations. Catless downpipes will solve sound issue.

Appears this might video might have been taken in Monte Carlo?
SPY looks good in the sun, not as muted as the official reveal photos

That first second or two sounds AWFUL. Chainsaws are less annoying. But after that it sounds pretty great.

That yellow is actually kind of growing on me. Looks great there in the sun. Still not sure if I could pull it off, but maybe...

S58 sound in M3/4 vs X3/4M
It's hard to say from this video how the sound compares in real life to the X3/4 M, but I can tell you in real life my S58 in my X3M sounds much better than the S55 cars I hear in real life. Much deeper and fuller sound. S58 sounds a lot less like a lawn mower and is a great sounding engine for an inline 6, IMO.

Perhaps the worst sound video of the G8X to date. Even still, the car sounds no better than the F8X.
Needs AAW to build equal length pipes. Looks hideous in that flouro yellow. Wheels are growing on me. |

Yep, having owned a '15 and an '18 F80 M3 Comp, it's the exact same sound as the F80 M3 with Competition package.
Same cold start that initially sucks but quickly sounds better after a few seconds, and same sound as the F80 M3 Comp as it revs..... |

Making a bad sound louder isn't a solution, but to be honest it effects all brands that have turbo engines the only thing they can do is add farts/pops and crackles, that's not a solution.

Ill echo this. Honestly this video reminds me almost exactly of when the S55 comp videos came out. Ran to my dealer and ordered one to replace my civic M3. Babied it to 1200 miles for 2 months. Finally let her rip.. gdit still sounds like shit.

If the S58 in the G8x has the same downpipe set-up as in the X3M, then it should naturally sound better than the S55 when under load as BMW moved more towards an equal-length downpipe set-up vs the unequal-length downpipes on the S55.
X3M's sound substantially better than the F8x in person fwiw.
