Honestly that Doesn’t sound great to me.
Armytrix is way overpriced.

Decent exhaust will set you back $5k or more too and still will never sound as good as a V8.

The F80 has a power band that frankly blows the E92 away. I actually considered both: a Cayman S or E92. In the end I got an M3CS, but for different reasons. Go for the Cayman.

Ye thats the plan to test drive 981 Cayman S manual - im just not too crazy about sound or its styling. Also plan to drive 991.1 911S or GTS.

I‘m looking for just fun to drive car with manual and nice sounding engine so E92 M3 is perfect in that regard. To me its fast enough and i think in next 5-10yrs the manual ones that are clean will go up in value quite a bit. I‘m not looking to make $$$ but it would be the cheapest alternative as i don’t think it will depreciate too much. Also it has amazing steering, perfect driving position, great overall interior that im familiar with having owned e92 335i.
