Lets hope the new "M3" does not play engine noises over the speakers :yuck:

Are you referring to the rumour about the new M5? Is that just an urban legend?

Just encouraging critical thinking. The M3 is the purists sports car! An acquintance of mine bought a 911 and when I asked him whtlat the engine displacement is he did not know. Buying a car for the sake of having one?

The answer is simple, why would BMW want to reinvent the wheel, they've got a great base to work from on the N55/54 engines already raise:

No, no its not unfortunately. The F10 M5 does "pipe" engine sounds in over the speakers.

I have driven a few and it is a very well documented "feature"

Does it pipe fake engine nouses or the noises of the actual engine?
