As for Bach.. I will do my focused listening in places other than cars. However, I do care about the upgraded stereo and I do hope to occasionally listen to music.. or converse.. or think. Some may wish they had pushed the car farther in the direction of track while others, like me, appreciate the compromises going farther in the direction of daily driver. Most of these cars will never see a track but hopefully many will see canyons and almost all will see a commute.

BTW.. neither the 911 S nor a Cayman R is louder than an M3 while the 1M was notably louder than all of them (http://www.auto-decibel-db.com/). Hope they keep it at the M3 levels or less.

72 decibels cruising at 70. This is 5 over the M235.
