F31 340 with MPPK

225 · 03-12-2016, 12:39 PM

First videos I have seen of the touring with the MPPK. I am still not convinced by the sound of it. Obviously the extra bhp would be welcome.

Moot point anyway as last quote I had was 3.5K!

Exactly. Don't think I want to drive round like that the whole time. I'm a bit old to be a boy racer. Would like to try one in the flesh though.

I have to say I'm gutted, I really don't like the sound of that at all.

I prefer burble over rasp in an exhaust tone and that is raspy in the extreme.That sound should be coming out the back of a civic type r, not a silky Bavarian straight six. Doesn't suit it IMO.

I think that's a bad recording. I'd like to hear one in the flesh tbh

I agree. I always remember the 6 cylinder bmws of old sounding more bassy.

This one's a bit more 'burbley' although not clear if that's MPPK or just MPE?
