There's just nothing like that sweet sound of a BMW straight six this side of my Porsche flat 6 with sport exhaust. Given that I'm getting the car fully optioned, as several others have pointed out the upcharge to get the 235 engine is not that great.
The exhaust note is indeed nutless. I keep waiting for somebody to make an exhaust for it that will at least make it passable.
