Here's another wish from me to BMW. Customer should be able to order (at least the straight six engine models) either with tuned sounds, or with as quiet as possible sounds. Just the E46 328i M52 engined models were already extremely quiet, before BMW started tweaking the sounds on them. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I kind of liked how the extreme quietness of that era straight sixes added to their speciality. A V6 could never be as quiet as they were. The only model in the current BMW catalog that follows that tradition is now the 760i. It is VERY quiet up to high 5000rpms. And V12 by nature is even more stable and quieter than a straight six, as we know. That engine has true class to it. But if you give it a good kickdown, it will show you it's authority.
Best regards,
Jussi
