Can you tell me if this also the case with the E92 M3?

How would you discribe it?
It is not 7-series quiet but about the same as the RS4, and less noisy than a 997. The good news is that there is none of the raspy noise that was so characteristic of the E46 M3, it sounds familiar on start-up but thereafter it is very different.
