M4 sounds like a truck
The Twin Turbo totally killed the exhaust note and throttle response
Could this mean the NA V8 RC-F will be the cooler car with more soul this time around? The end of an era for the BMW M3 after 4 generations?

Maybe it'll sound better in person.. listening on a video thru computer speakers is not per say accurate assessment.

I agree.
But listen to the V8 M3's video made by the same folks, now tell me which one is sick and which one suck?

stock e9x m3 exhaust sounds pretty bad below 4000 rpm as well.

Which I think is a bad decision. I like coupes, but I'm a 4 door fan. Loved the IS-F, RS4, M3 and C63 AMG sedans

There will still be a M3 sedan, they are just calling the coupe M4.
Stupid if you ask me, almost as dumb as Infiniti calling everything QXX, no one knows what they are.

yup i can't believe how stupid they are in dealing with the legendary m3 name
m3 sedan, m4 coupe
basically all odd numbers are the sedan, all even numbers are the coupe

It's not really that stupid. People actually buying these cars end up caring very little about whether they bought an M4 instead of an M3 in the long run.

But there are still exception within that rule, like the 6 Gran Coupe, I understand it is a coupe shape and all, but is still a 4-doors sedan
If I own a M4, I would change the badge back to M3!
I guess is just a car, we are fussing too much over them

Like which one? The M157 sounds nothing remotely as cool as the M156 and M159.
