Coolad 5th Gear July 10, 2014 Share July 10, 2014 (edited) All BMWs produced very nice sound,esp the 6 Cyl or V8,even better,even their 4 Cyl are better than most German or Japanese cars. Zhun boh... BMW 4cycl (N46) has the notorious "taxi" sound....click click click....like a diesel engine... and also mediocre HP... the newer N20 block sounds no better but at least has better horses....even this N20 is being replaced... B48 coming....BMW still not getting it right... Bimmer is all abt their IL-6 (N52, N54, N55)... silky...creamy... smooth... and nice mechanical roar with equivalent HP to bear...
