I'm going back for another test drive tomorrow so I'll try and report back then.
I didn't mean the exhaust wasn't loud but I was talking about the sound/tone. I'm fine with the loudness but I guess I was expecting more of a deep V8 rumble. Compared to other V8s like AMG 63, it's a joke. |
The truck will never have a rumble/tone like the 4.8is or AMG 63 engine because its a smaller V8 and because its turbocharged. The turbo will naturally baffle/camber the rumble upon start up and throttle blips.
Also remember that the exhaust has flaps so you need to put it in M mode for the full effect. Quote:

Yes it should feel very different and much more aggressive/responsive.
That 50 page model summary (in the press release thread) explains the differences as well. Quote:

Sport mode on the 4.6 and 4.8is only changes the tranmission shift maps and throttle response.
The M mode on the X ///M changes the rear height, transmission maps, exhaust note, throttle response, steering response, suspension calibration, rear diff bias, etc... Page 1 of the press release thread actually onlines everything thats modified when pressing the M button (too many to list here). Quote:

Top Gear needs to do a segment on this beast... good or bad.

I drove a carbon black, black interior with piano black trim. Piano black trim is standard. Likes:
I think its in different league from 4.8is. For lack of better words; 4.8is feels like raw untamed power, and X5 M is refined and tamed power. Some iPhone pics: |
