At first it sounded like a normal car but if you pay a little more attention it sounded very mean and dangerous.

Love the sound

delvek · 01-28-2012, 07:26 AM

Terrible environment to showcase the M5's sound. Wish I never heard this clip.

sward · 01-28-2012, 09:07 AM

I think this is at the dealer where I bought my M3. It's in Stockholm, Sweden

Crisp · 01-28-2012, 10:07 AM

Other than when the car is idling, it sounds like shit in this video.
It's not sound, its just NOISE, popping, and some more noise.

I guess people that like anything that's loud, also like this.

+1.

Why are they doing this inside the dealership again???

I still can't get used to the farting sound. It would be the first thing on a turners list

Sounds flatulent to point of being ridiculous...

this isn't really that representative - in the flesh it sounds awesome, it goes straight through. Lisnteing to videos gives you an idea but it's a bit like the saturation in photos when deciding on a colour; it gives you an idea but if the detail is really important to you there is no substitute to seeing / hearing it in the flesh. in mho it is makes a great noise.

Gunzaro · 01-29-2012, 06:00 AM

I think the turbochargers muffle the V8 sound a bit on the new M5. I've listened to a couple of other videos and it sounds a bit muted. Compare to a C63 AMG for example.

Of course no comparison to the V10 M5!!

saeedg48 · 01-29-2012, 10:27 AM

why does it pop like that. is that just back pressure? my m3 did that when it was cold when revved up 1000 rpms over idle at cold starts

Have you people ever listened the V10 from the old M5? Now THATS something to listen, thats worth uploading to youtube. That had an exhaust which wasn't modded to sound aggressive, that was aggressive itself. This on the other hand is a JOKE! This engine sounds so bad compared to the old one, they had to modify the exhaust and the sound system to make it sound more dominant. The current M3 which also has a V8 sounds so much better!

BMW started this type of exhaust modding with the last iteration of E90 335 that had the N55 engine. This M5 sound has the same pattern, but its much more dominant obviously.

There are many things BMW should advertise about the new M5, like efficiency, luxury, etc, SOUND though is not one of them, that's something that when people mention it, BMW should just look down and never talk about it.

I owned an e60 m5 and loved it. The f10 sounds miles better in every way, but I guess this is a subjective thing here. Regarding any objective measure, the f10 smashes the e60, as you'd expect.

i own 2 E60s...i agree it sounds great when rev'd but you can't have everything...it sounds like a diesel tractor at tick over! Don't get me wrong I adore it but being objective not everything is perfect.
Re the F10 (I'm inclined to agree with Phish 100 re the exhaust, it is different to E60 but still a great noise) apart from that all aspects are not only superior to the E60 but walk all over it so I'm not hesitating to upgrade. Guess you won't be (:

Agree 100%.

I always said it sounds like an STi with an exhaust.
Sure it performs and looks good, but sound is a joke.

Other than performance, all else is an opinion though so we can't really argue about that.

AlterZgo · 01-29-2012, 08:48 PM

Wow. Other than the "bang" noise, this F10 M5 sounds eerily similar to my 335is w/ golf tee mod on cold start up... which is to say it sounds pretty good, but not as impressive sounding compared to an E60 M5 or E90/92 M3.

Russkey · 01-29-2012, 09:19 PM

90% of people online write how better the sound is coming out from the V10 M5. Is this because they hating that a never version of their car came out, or the sound from F10 M5 is really that bad? Maybe they'll do something about it until the release in the US. I watched a few videos where the car was clearly "farting". Not the best sound I want to hear coming out of the new M5

I think to get the idea of how loud the car can be, it is better to do the test outside. Most cars would sound loud inside the building.
