Yup. Subarus...I hate the sound, while others like my wife love them. Sound like they're down a cyl or two.

M2 with the MPE. Having owned 6 BMW's recently and 4 of them being M cars (E92 M3 with Dinan, E70 X5M, F80 M3 and now the F87 M2), the last one sounds the best of them all IMO.

The second best I would say was my E92 M3 with Dinan and 3rd place goes to my 440i Gran Coupe with the M sport exhaust.

Hands down the S85 in the E60 M5/E63 M6. That engine noise is respected across all car enthusiasts. The E92 M3 would come next.

Everything else could come after that. Those engines sounded god-like.

All of bmws NA engines with higher than 6 cylinder count sound glorious with the correct exhaust setups. Key phrase in this debate is -exhaust setup..

Has to be the E39 M5 (S62), closely followed by the E60 M5 (S85).

I think induction noise is highly underrated.

I won't disagree with that statement.

I think the n55 should replace the e30 personally.

S55 is definitely worst in slot...

03/04 Mustang Cobra. 32 valve 4 cam (overhead) Supercharged V-8 with Magnaflow exhaust. OMG!! I know this is a BMW forum but had to mention that particular STREET car motor. Also the New M3 CS I think sounds pretty good too. Just cause I have one. Lol.

E46 got one of worst exhaust sound, no point of proving it's not. Stock exhaust sounds like something is loose inside, that would be the first thing I'd change when I buy it someday. Whole comparison is bit useless, since it should be either stock exhaust cars or modified exhaust only (comparing companies, not cars). For me, best stock exhaust sound is X5M/X6M.

I haven't owned a whole lot of cars in my 37 years, but I think my N55 M2 with MPE sounds incredible. Wish the crackles were more subdued in Sport mode though.
