I think it sounds pretty bad but that wouldn't be a deal breaker. Listen to the B58 in the X3 M40i or M340i and then go to an S55 or this S58. Those twin turbos don't do it any favor in the sound department.

Kinda thinking the x3 m40i sounds better... I'll reserve judgment for more videos or hear in person

Wow, that sounds very very good. I prefer this brawny sound over the B58's. I personally think the B58 sounds like a blender on frappe, where the S55 sounds like a weed wacker. This is like a mix of both, with a better end result.

Agree the lower end model still sound better than the S58, just like the N55/S55.

Listen to video at 11:52. It sounds very S55-ish.

Does this car seem slow to anyone based on the speedo? I was expecting quicker.

I have the opposite opinion. I think for a SUV is a very quickly but lets see how the X3M and X4M can handle versus the competition
