M4 Saloon ...awful sound

Post by Timster » Wed Sep 03, 2014 5:41 pm

One went past me at about 10-15 mph as I was walking up the road.

Sounded s**t

Almost electronic, almost laughable really.
Not nice

That's hardly WOT. Most cars either sound <beep> or cant be heard at 10-15mph.

Even during the occasional squirt in traffic... it still sounded rubbish.

Heard an M3 & M4 at full chat & they sounded great. Not quite as good as the old E60 V10 but still sufficiently throaty & tuneful. Agree though that cars are getting quieter which i can only assume is linked to EU bollox & emissions etc.
