Like which one? The M157 sounds nothing remotely as cool as the M156 and M159.
It's still throaty and sounds like a proper V8. I had a previous-gen SL63 and just picked up a current gen (technically, I pick it up next week). It's still plenty loud, trust me. You can hear it some in Chris Harris' video:
On a side note, people seem to forget that worst sounding M3 to date has got to be the stock E46 M3. I remember when it came out- people were up in arms about how raspy and nasty it sounded.
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
4 door coupe, haven't heard of that before? ask mb, they created that with the cls

The E9X V8 is the sweetest sounding engine in a car under $70k.
the e9x v8 is sweet after 4000rpm when it starts to scream, and i agree it's freaking nice. i picks that over c63 and isf any day.
however under 4000rpm it's really nothing, just some raw meh sound imho. actually a lot of my friends thought the same too when they asked me to rev the car

and i still think that's pretty true. it doesn't sound awesome but the car does go.
i guess good sound is always a plus, though i wouldn't make it a deal breaker. i rather have a good fast car that doesn't sound awesome than a blah car that sounds good

I said I know it is a 4 door coupe, but it is still a 4 doors sedan.

I don't think any engine sounds crazy sweet under 4k rpm.

That apply to everything, maybe except the LFA and C-GT.........but IDK, never rev one in my life.

Loud don't equal to sweet.

Sounds is more satisfying then speed
This is why I don't own a GTR anymore
I wish I didn't change, speed is cheap, sweet sounds is crazy expensive
BMW is known to pump in fake engine revving noises in the M5, I assume we will get more of this crap in the M4 to fool the poor owners into thinking it sounds awesome.
