For reasons of comfort, the V8 is fitted with a crankshaft that ignites twice in succession on the one bank and then jumps to the other. You can hear this highly irregular ignition sequence as the typical V8 bubbling in the exhaust tract, a sound you cannot hear from the engine of the new BMW M5.
Does anybody here does NOT like the bubbling of a 4 liter V8? This development makes me sad, to be honest. Nice that it is technically possible, but I think the character of a V8 car gets lost. Perhaps I should switch to a Mustang after my M3 V8...
