There are several other examples on Youtube that sound very similar to the video that I shared. However, most importantly, if you haven't done so yet, go check out a local ZCP in person. You'll be surprised how good and deep the stock ZCP sounds in person when it's warm. My car has MPE so I'm not saying this to praise what I have. I'm sure the same will be true for the M2C too however based on the videos I have seen so far I don't think it sounds any better than stock M3/M4 ZCP.

Edit: The high pitch might be because the engine isn't warmed up yet but again I think they sound very similar. I'm sure we'll see some side-by-side comparisons when reviews and initial deliveries start. |

A deeper tone can be accomplished with a single path midpipe like what AA produces for the M3/M4. It synchronizes the two turbos exhaust. Produces a much deeper note...with the raspy snaps on overrevs.

Just wanted to give you guys some perspective on the similarities to the M3/4 ZCP - I took this short video today, hope this is helpful.

NOW I hear what you guys were bitching about; the M2C/M4 exhaust overrun sounds "broken." People from the outside who not familiar with it is going to ask if it's defective..
I remember the first time I heard that "popcorn" sound in the Mini S, everyone thought that there was a leak in the exhaust. Personally, and maybe I'm alone but I would of preferred the car to be quiet as a stock 330i with that twin-turbo 6, than sounding like it does now.. |

It will definitely be my first mod, assuming they release it for the M2C. Makes the car sound much better, adds 18 WHP and 30 LB-FTs (according to AA's dyno), and must shave 10-15 lbs off the car. |

I drove a non-ZCP M3 today - I think the S55 bashing is a tad over blown. It sounded ok... it wasn't even ZCP with the improved exhaust acoustics. I think the S55 non-ZCP is somewhat disappointing if you are right behind the car.
However - I think the M2C will be a great sounding car! |

All exhausts take time to wear in and find their mojo. The problem with any video of the M2C is that it will be with a new exhaust and isn't representative of what it will sound like a year from now.
Plus, the M2C, while sharing the same engine architecture as the M3/4, will have a slightly different exhaust architecture (and possibly intermixing midpipe) that might throw a major wrench in the comparison works.
