both sounds good however if I had to chose I would say the M3 sounded better to me.

F80NJM3 · 03-29-2012, 04:25 PM

It just sounds like two cars (m5 & m3) revving their engines.. Cant really determine anything..

+1. Would of liked to hear one, then the other.

I'll make the first M5 reply out of 27 M3 replies.
Nothing to debate here, M5 sounds better. It's just too obvious to any ear, admit it or not

Respect to the M3 people! Btw both cars sound much better when on the move

AlpWhite11 · 03-29-2012, 05:54 PM

They rev together sometime but also separately sometimes. Enough to hear the difference.

Although M5 is now very balanced, it is not much more than a domesticated animal. Nice looking car with great figures on paper, but does not offer as much excitement as the E60.

So you must have recently driven one. Thanks for that review.

How many here own an M3 or M5 old or new.

Completely different cars so they really shouldn't be compared.

F80 M3 vs F10 M5 is a better but that will be ways off yet.

Why only exhaust note alone? The induction note is equally important. In this regard, the M5 will pale in comparison due to the turbos. The M5's exhaust note however, is very aggressive and macho in real life. Every time i give it the beans, the rumble it makes reminds me of an angry erupting volcano along with the thrust

initially I was a bit disappointed with the f10 sound compared to the e60 but it's getting better to me every time I hear it.

I'll take the one that does not have artificial engine sounds piped through the cockpit stereo speakers.

What an embarrassment.

Kinder · 03-30-2012, 04:16 AM

One thing I don't understand, did you try the new M5 before complaining about the sound or the "domesticated" feeling? Most of you have only seen vids on youtube (so am I...)

But I refrain from commenting on the "meh" car feeling until I test/hear one (new M5 ) IRL.

And I have to say, I don't like the E9x M3 sound, E46 M3 and M5 (all models) sound better.

M3 sounds empty and metallic compared back to back like this.

The M3 sounds good enough to not require synthetic engine noise pumped into the cockpit.

But even the M3 stock exhaust sounds tame. E46 M3 stock exhaust is terrible-- that sounds like a dirtbike. Put on an aftermarket system and get rid of the metallic rasp and it's pretty sweet classic I-6 noise.

As far as stock exhausts on current models, I think the 335is sounds the best. As for my 335d, my exhaust doesn't sound like anything at all.

Could not agree more.
