It will be a second car and under warranty for a while, so if anything happens ill just drop it off at the dealer. PITA? yes but whatever. Also, you can shove as many M badges as you want on a 335, it isnt an M, lol. My S2000 was really fast, faster than a Porsche 918, but still wasnt a Porsche 918 (or 981, whatever its called).
Of course the gap is much smaller between the modded 335 and an M but It would bother me. Id rather just by the real thing.

One is the current boxster/cayman and the other is a hybrid supercar that goes from 0-60 in 2.2 seconds and does the quarter mile in 9.8!

yeah. Its a "synthesized intake sound", lol. Porsche does the same thing only it isnt the intake noise, its the Exhaust.

That's cool that nearly everything you post on this site is met with ridicule and scorn. But yeah, what Jonboy said.

So I was trying to figure out if it was implemented the same in the M3 as the M5 and I think it is slightly different. In the M5 I think it is a pre-recorded track that matches to RPM but in the M3 I think it is actually amplified from the actual car? Hard to find definitive info but maybe that gives you some piece of mind that your car is not "faking" its noises... My car could be louder, it seemed loud at first, maybe I am going deaf, it might be the S2000 with the single exit titanium veilside exhaust... that's *&%$ing loud...
