It would be interesting to see that many BMW's in one place. I'm sure you would get to see some fairly rare models in the bunch. I neeed to double check the date, but I would like to check it out. |

The V8 from the new M3 does indeed sound great but I like the V10 sound better. Screams more at high revs.

I'm currently looking at some different combos but I'm concerned with drone at lower rpms. I don't want it to sound obnoxious but a little more throaty would be nice.

The M3 has been my favorite car for the last 15 years, so to hear that exhaust note out of a 3-series chassis got me all excited. I have read a few articles that call the new M3 engine one of, if not the, most advanced engines in any road car. It is no wonder that BMW continuously wins awards with their engine designs. |

Here is a link from Bimmerforums about the rasp situation and exhaust options. One post talks about using a resonator with a Remus exhaust to eliminate the rasp. http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum...ferrerid=56200 I don't have any experience with changing the exhaust out on that particular car. I do know that Remus seems to be a good all around exhaust choice because they are not too loud. They have a new exhaust out that allows you to actually adjust the sound level to your personal liking. I am not sure how much it takes away the rasp though. I am under the impression that the other big brands like Supersprint, Eisenmann, Active, and Borla are more agressive sounding. Totally different car and sound, but a family member of mine has an 850i with a Remus exhaust and it sounds great. Much deeper, but not offensive. |

I know the SMG has plenty of advantages, especially on the track, but do you miss rowing through the gears when driving on public roads? |

No, I don't miss rowing through gears on public roads because I still do it. The only difference is that you do it with little paddles and don't have to take your hand off the steering wheel. I never drive it in auto mode unless there is a huge traffic jam and even then, I drive it in manual mode most of the time. There is one better thing though ... F1 super fast on the 599 GTB and that engine will give you a kick in the but from 0 al the way up to 8,250 rpm.
