The B58 sounds pretty similar to the N55, I’ve owned both, and the S55 was based on the N55 and still ended up sounding like it does so I’m not sure what your logic is here.

The sound of a turbocharged motor is largely created by its cylinder firing order, the design of its exhaust manifold and turbo configuration, and the design and layout of the exhaust system. The S55 was drastically different than N55 in these areas (among many others) and makes a very different sound. S55 also cuts torque during upshifts while trying to keep the turbos spinning and this causes its famous farting sounds on upshifts. I would bet S58 will end up similar in these areas to S55. I’m not happy about it, I LOVE the way my B58 sounds but would take the power and power delivery of the S55 over my B58’s great sound every day of the week.
