I propose a high rollers thread
I've seen some right jokes of watches in that thread.
I agree to the high rollers thread. We can discuss about the type of people that do everything in their power not to look at your car and give you the pleasure.. to the extent of them giving themselves whiplash.

I would go mental if I had a car like that E92 and someone wrote in the dirt on it as they have on that!!! Doesn't take much to knacker up paint!
However, both very smart motors
I was stood next to the bloke when he wrote in the dirt, the paint is already quite swirled and will be getting a detail when the weather is warmer so I didn't really mind, plus he got a dirty finger from doing it so I had the last laugh.
Naturally I would say the E46 M3 sounds better out of the two, but I do genuinely think the unique race-car like sound is the more ear pleasing, especially from inside the cabin! We will have to see at the RR soon which sounds best when not inside the cabin
Have just booked mine in for an exhaust mod on the 12th so I fear I may beat you a bit at the RR
My mate dave spent £15k on a vectra from yes car credit dies that make him a high roller?

Yes he can join the thread
Sorry but that don't impress me much! I will pretty much never look twice in admiration at road cars that are modded to sound like that.
Don't you think that E92 in that video sounds way too chavvy, especially at the start? That "rasp" is way too fart can like and had I not seen what car was making the noise I'd dismiss it as a chav car with fart can exhaust. In fact I was behind a CTR this evening with exactly that and it made a similar fart can rasp noise! IMO the E46 M3 rasp is the most pleasing/mechanical rasp I have heard and I thought that the very first time I ever heard one and now think it even more that I actually own one!
Stock exhaust = best exhaust on any of these proper M (N/A) cars

Oh come on Robbie how can you say an M3 in one of your videos isn't just as chavvy?
Btw I own a V8 so the V8 is better, back me up peps.. (high rollers)

Which one of my videos? I was referring to the video of the modded M3 nemtizz posted. I've only ever posted my one in this thread and that has the stock exhaust and IMO that sounds better/less chavvy than the one posted above Back me up peeps... (low rollers)

The E92 in that video sounds no more "chavvy" than the video you posted of those 5 E46 revving in the car park, don't get me wrong the E46 M3 sounds awesome but The V8 wins it, actually no. The GTR in that video wins all.
The one with the ACS/SuperSprint/Stock exhausts revving one by one? The stock one is the best sounding one yeah but in turn it also sounds better than the aftermarket E92 one above. Tbh I'm really not a fan of muffled exhaust notes like the above. I like it race car like and the rasp to not be muffled. Feels and sounds more raw, to me at least anyway.
I'm not even sure what a chavvy exhaust note is meant to sound like, heh. Each to their own of course but I think it sounds perfect when it comes to the E92's V8.
Revving a straight-six engine when you're stable in a car park is never really going to sound amazing though, IMO. They sound much better at pace going through the gears.
Agreed.

I will not ever change my mind on this dude^ That aftermarket exhaust sounds quite naff on that E92 M3, the rasp is muffled and reminds me of cheap big exit exhausts people stick on to get a louder note. The stock E92 exhaust sounds great and IMO it should be left that way, just like the E46 M3 one.
