I will for sure test drive the cars when the time comes. No doubt the v8tt from the 650i will sound great when you open up the exhaust. I'm scared about all the issues the v8tt has been having(oil consumption, etc) but I've read a little about the rod bearing issue with the M3 v8 so I guess all engines have it's potential issue. The E39 M5 had rod bearing issues as well but I don't how much of it was internet hype.
