We are still not convinced by the exhaust note of the new twin-turbo V8-powered BMW M5. We have no reserves whatsoever about its performance, or response for such a big engine which uses forced induction, but the sound is still a massive disappointment, as this video posted by Marchettino proves.
BMW themselves are aware of this fact, and they have decided to pump artificial engine noise through the speakers to give the impression that the M5 is a proper driver’s car. BMW have sunk really low in doing this, especially in the eyes of those who worshiped the brand, a brand which is now just that - a brand which has one goal: to sell cars, and not necessarily make the best ones out there.
Again, we are not disputing the technical and technological achievements of the F10 M5, but we have heard from reliable sources that the driving experience is a bit more detached than that of the E60 M5, with less communicative steering and the lack of a V10 engine hitting almost 9,000 rpm.
