Arrow M2 sounds - exhaust startup, rev, acceleration, Autobahn top speed run

Just got this from a good friend of mine. I think you all will enjoy this! This car has the standard exhaust! The MPE will be even louder!!

Man is the WANT high for an M2 for me!!

Wow that's pretty clear and loud for a stock exhaust. Sounds great.

It is always hard to rate the sound over a video but it does sound stock as my F30 sounded with Akrapovic basically if you just go by the videos.

Sounds incredible!

However, why does the F82 M4 sound like crap and they got this right?

Vmax on winter tires... that is a good idea! :lol

Sound is brilliant. Quite similar in tune as the M4, but more raw. Only needs a Akrapovic to really make a difference.

Does anybody know what the warning is near the end of the autobahn video? I imagine it's to do with hitting max speed??

Sounds great for the stock exhaust. Definitely good enough to pass on the $4k MPE

it most likely has something to do with the tires (rated up to 240) and the speed limit warning was set to 240 in the iDrive. In Germany, there has to be a small sticker on the dashboard indicating that your winter tires have a lower speed rating than the summer set of tires.

I am thinking the same way, but the MPE will sound amazing if stock sounds as good!

Agreed. I'm quite pleased with the sound on acceleration with the exception of the DCT shift farts. I'll remedy that with my slow rowing of the gears.

Great sounds! M4 is not able to its M2 sounds because of twin turbocharger.
I like single turbocharger sounds~

Agreed and don't we already know the N55 tuning limits very well by now? You gotta change out the turbo. BTW, wasn't "top speed" supposed to be 273kph?

I think there is an option to remove speed limiter from factory but yes your correct !! Yeah IMO this is a plain old M235i engine N55 with a tune and an exhaust to sound faster ! Rest of the car is pretty sweet tho
