The sound appeal of the N55 is well overplayed and so is the displeasing sound of the S55.
If people want sound go back to cars with the N54 which sounds better than the N55. Even better go back to the E90 series...which the V8 sounds hard and solid every time you apply throttle. The S55 ZCP sounds better than the standard S55 is because of the tune rather than the MPE. The muffler is there is to filter sound but can't add sound if the engine is not producing it. So no V8 or V10 or V12 sound is available with any exhaust system placed on the S55 or N55. The S55 M2 CS has the potential to sound even better than the M4 ZCP with MPE if they get the tune right. I am sure having the right balance of 'appropriate sound' both from inside the cabin and from outside is one of the engineering objective that they have to tick off on. |

Sure it's subjective. I had the completely opposite experience as you where everytime I hear an M4 it either sounds like a diesel (stock) or a civic with a fart can (exhaust). Look I think all new BMWs sound like utter garbage but you gotta acknowledge how terrible the M4 sounds. I don't know what's involved in engineering better sound but I have no doubt it could come at the cost of efficiency or peak power. I have owned many NA M cars and nothing will ever compare of course.

Ok, I was able to find a real life Sunset Orange X1 and compare it to a M3 in Sakhir Orange. The sunset orange is amazingly similar to Sakhir. Sunset orange has a small amount more of metal flake, while the Sakhir seems to look more like a metallic lacquer paint. Both are incredible!
Sunset is on par with Long Beach Blue - as Long Beach Blue changes color in different types of light. Sunset Orange gets my vote! I also saw Valencia, which doesn't have the same sparkle as these two do.

Was on 2ertalk. There has been a lot of activity in the past few days about the CS (Competition) and the CSL (GTS).
Apparently, the CS is really the competition model with about a 20 HP power bump. This is what @ynguldyn had mentioned a while ago as well. The real upgrade would be the CSL/GTS which would come out in 2019 and that would be a year before end of production for the current M2. I guess we'll know if the M2 GTS/CSL is coming based on the upgrades that the CS (Competition) gets.I guess both these cars are being tested concurrently and if we see another version of the M2 still testing when the M2 CS is announced, we can safely assume that there is something else in the offing. Best case scenario would be for BMW to reveal/announce the Competition and the CSL at the same time and price the CSL at around 80K USD. I won't even complain about the transmission. |

The Sunset Orange is growing on me a little after seeing that X1 pic. It seems somewhat conservative for an orange, but doesn't seem too far from Sakhir.
But Hockenheim Silver is what I am most interested in seeing (officially).. I have never been a silver guy for cars, so it is going to take something special for me to order that. I think this will be a good one though after seeing all the renders in this thread. San Marino Blue would have been my top choice..but oh well. I just love that color. Quote:
