No doubt biased because I love my OG M2. But still don't think they have matched the exhaust note of the OG. They hit perfection with that one. And as some have noted. I still see WRX every time I see a pic. I know that may not be the case with other colors. But not a good way to intro.
I'll stick with my OG M2. Have fun with this one! |

Thank you for proving my point.
This isn't how a stock S14 sounds. 90% of what you're hearing in the video is induction noise, not exhaust sound. Like I mentioned before, BMW made up for terrible exhaust notes with induction noise in the past. The video even clearly mentions the "airbox". What part of that don't you understand? The S14 exhaust note is still crap. The reason why you think that is sounds "amazing" is because of induction noise, not the exhaust. Last edited by 19x; 11-22-2019 at 11:00 AM.. |

my point was .. THIS - (the S14 with a CF airbox) IS ARGUABLY THE BEST INDUCTION NOISE I HAVE EVER HEARD ON A BMW. ( better even than the S54 with CF airbox in the E46 M3 CSL) I sit IN my car.. not in front of or behind it when I drive.... and I don't sit around revving my car in parking lots.... so ….. If one wants a great sounding BMW exhaust note... one is really only going to find that on BMW V8 motors. Last edited by M3 Adjuster; 11-22-2019 at 05:01 PM.. |

The induction noise is terrible and exhaust noise is even more terrible. BMW really dropped the ball here. In the past, they at least made up for it somehow. The noise coming out of all new M2’s and M3’s is distressingly bad. Downright embarrassing. Sure, the original M2 exhaust sounds less terrible. |

The S14 was a race derived engine and it shows in the sound. It sounds glorious. Not just compared to other 4 cylinders but any car. Not everyone lusts after burly V8s. I certainly don't.

If you’re glorifying the S14 because of its race heritage/pedigree and therefore think it must sounds cool too, that’s great. It’s still a 4-banger that sounds terrible next to any decent V8. Yes, I heard plenty of S14’s in person. I fail to see anything special about its exhaust note. Sure, it sounds better than my neighbor’s Corolla. I bet most people glorifying its “exhaust” sound are actually confusing it with induction noise. |

Or is it your red wig, yellow clothes and stripy socks that are causing the dilemma with the contrast to the blue and gold colour of the display car? |

Clearly both of you idiots missed the point. There are zero 6'6"+ folks on here driver 2 series cars. Guarantee you that, that's it. |

Honestly, I laughed out loud when I read your original post. The imagery of a 6'7" dude emerging from a 2 series like in a circus show is hilarious. I think in the same vein, the other posts are just folks piggy-backing and making jokes along similar lines so that everyone on the forum can have a good laugh. So, yes, to your point, the comments aren't directed at your post directly, rather it's just everyone trying to have a good time and joke around and give others a good chuckle. |

The M2 Competition (and presumably the CS as well) has significantly more headroom at 40.1" than most "sports" or "performance" cars on the market As a result, it can actually be better suited to many taller drivers than a lot of the other options out there |
