Ah, the back Durbanville road. I hope you slowed down for the cameras? :)

Well yes, from the top of the hill was stuck behind a string of cars, so back to normal pace. But annoys me that people generally slow down to 60km/h for the cameras when it's an 80 zone...

Love the smooth/refined sound of the N52 range of engines.

Thanks! Yep, BMW NA straight six sound is classic - pity they are no more!!! :nonono:

Definitely is a bit sad, I'm hoping they will make a return in the future...with special edition models at least.

I don't like how BMW got rid of the raspiness for the N52 though :fencelook: I'm probably just biased. :rollsmile:

Yep, all in the name of keeping the green party happy! :fencelook:

The exhaust note is very tame and subdued, but I somehow like it, and then only when you put foot does it come to life, but still very clean. Of course nothing a good performance exhaust can't fix... :rollsmile:

N52 is so smooth and free-revving, I love it! But honestly it cannot match the M52's aggressive snarl when pushed :( ....

Well, with a standard exhaust setup this is the case, but with a good performance exhaust the N52 this is a different story. The M52 is still an awesome range of engines like the M54 too! :inlove:
