On the occasion of the 2014 Long Breach Grand Prix, a YouTube enthusiast called BrianZuk managed to film the exhaust note of the upcoming BMW M4 Coupe. You can watch the video of it above.

Before you dive headfirst into the comments to regale us with your considered opinion though, here are some stats. The new BMW M4 Coupe – and its M3 Saloon stablemate – are running a 317kW 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged straight-six engine, a six-speed manual gearbox and rear-wheel-drive.

Both are capable of hitting 100kph from rest in 4.3 seconds (or 4.1s with the dual-clutch automatic gearbox) and will top out to a limited speed of 250kph. They will weigh 1500kg. They will feature advanced adaptive suspension dynamics and something called a ‘Smokey Burnout’ function.

Which is fine on paper, but a significant part of a car’s allure is the noise it makes. Remember, this new car has to follow in the footsteps of the E46 BMW M3 – and the M3 CSL – as well as the V8 from the last, E92-generation M3.

Have a listen and tell us – is this how the BMW M4 should sound?

I'm a big M3 fan... But that sounds like a petol law mower / weed eater.
I hope that he was recording it with a very poor recording device...

This is what it should have sounded like -- [video=youtube]

Jeez 1m sounds much better, damn someone get this poor car a Akrapovic.
:fencelook:

That's the problem with a turbo engine... The turbos impeller muffles that "raw" sound we yearn for!!!!

 

[Chavoos]

Worst sounding M ever!! Sies man.
Maybe it's got the acoustic exhaust note inside the car.

Previous worst was the E46M

So I've seen this before and decided not to post it because in all honesty is not true reflection of the car. The car has a cold limiter on, as well as what I predict to be running to max about 3000rpm. The exhaust valves are also closed at this temp and revs. There are a number of vids which highlight the sound much better.

I hear you coco... I've heard clips where it does sound glorious..

BUT

There is that every morning cold start, where it WILL sound like that...

Well I'm dissapointed cause I was listening to the clip and my dad overheard it... And I couldn't even say 'this is what the new M4 sounds like..."
