People need to stop comparing the sound of the S55 to others cars. It's unique and fine the way it is. There are single and equal length midpipes to expirement with which makes it cool because it changes the sound and tone. But apart from all the hate I was fine with the sound. ST is an option to make it sound good too!
nothing wrong with comparing in my opinion. When you spend any amount on a car, especially cars at this price and above. You expect certain things. Although not as bad as I used to think or as bad as people make em out to be. It could sound sooo much better. Is it VQ bad... no .. I used to own one lol but at its price range it could certainly be better.
Before heard a valvetronics f80 I would've agreed with you ... after hearing one.. yeah.. f80 with valvetronics sounds just as good. Obviously not v8 good but v6 good as it should've always. 😊
@@Jetturbiner Straight 6 cylinders will always sound like straight 6 cylinders guys. No matter what you will do to the engine and the exhaust. This is something unavoidable. Don't get me wrong F80M3 & F82M4 are very good looking cars. Both handle better, both are faster than predecessor E9x M3 but at the same time that magnificent S65 V8 engine compensates for all of this. Share your love for BMW ///M.
@user-wf2yq7mb6y the s55 has unequal downpipes causing inequal air pressure waves when they intercept at the merge and cause a highly tinny almost twin 3 cylinder sound.. single turbo sounds ace and equal pipes with stock turbos sound less raspy

@@Jewnbug1 I agree! Yeah, they've could've focused on the sound of the S55 more.
Sorry The s55 does not sound good
No. After E92 no matter what you do to F it'll always sound like castrate

Single turbo conversion, or equal length downpipes
