Wrong.
M motor's signature engine sound/exhaust note is that exact metalic, mechanical note from the current M3. E30 M3 had it, E36 + 46's Inline-6 had it, E34 M5 had it, E60 M5 had it(especially above 4500rpm).

I am not "criticizing" the new M5's exhaust in any way, but it surely sounds like a typical V8 toned down version...of course some straight pipe or aftermarket exhaust would fix it, but as stock vs stock M3 wins as the proper M motor sound.

already worrying about vacuum cleaner sound i expect from the future M turbo cars...
