I’m guessing BMW worked very hard to mask the turbo whine noise of the new M3/M4, in order to preserve the familiar engine note of the straight-six, the one that’s always been associated with the word “metallic,” which it is…
The first videos we saw featuring either of the two cars (which share the same engine, in case you didn’t know) did not really come accompanied by a nice exhaust soundtrack, and it was only the Nürburgring spy videos that were more revealing in that sense.
Now, we have two short videos that we’ve posted below, courtesy of BimmerPost, are much clearer, and we can finally hear the engine breathing out in close proximity.
The car in the video is the two-door M4, and I was not able to detect any hint of forced induction whistle whatsoever – the second video is the one in which it’s revved more vigorously, so you might want to skip to that one first.
Scroll down and check them out.
