1. I'd rather have no sound than the garbage (and fake) noise the twin turbo inline 6's BMW is putting out.
I disagree with your claims about how it sounds.

3. I don't track my car so the battery overheating on a track is a moot point for me. Plus, I already have a manual E92 M3 if I really wanted to have fun on a track.
F80 is also a beast on the track, hope you get a chance to properly test it one day.

That said, Tesla says their Model 3 Performance will do 3.5s to 60 which may put the G80 M3 to shame. That will definitely take a lot more customers away from Audi, Merc and BMW.
