1. I'd rather have no sound than the garbage (and fake) noise the twin turbo inline 6's BMW is putting out.

2. We're not even sure the G8X will be available with a true manual transmission.

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.

This is just me, though. Your situation may be different.
Lol of course someone with an e92 m3 is hating on current m3. Sound is the only thing that car had going for it
