This Straight-Piped BMW F80 M3 Sounds Evil As It Lights Up The Rears In A Tunnel

The harsh-sounding F80 isn't the most melodic M3, so it's no surprise that when you stick a set of straight pipes on, the results are utterly demonic

they really need to have a button. car sounding like this are normally not legal in switzerland. hide it from the police i would say ;)

I have a video of this very same car in my phone but before it was decal done. It probably was straight piped then too as I remember the LOUD NOISES every time it passed me. It’s also the first and last F80 I ever saw and captured on cam. I’ll send the video to you if possible.

Imagine an M5 F10 with 5” straight pipes and LOUD headers.

I feel bad for the car.
Tron Design, i get it. Looks different, taste thing.
Straight-pipe… i also understand why one might do that…. because racecar sounds. Hopefully the important bits were unharmed.

But the burnout. That car with massive brakes designed to stop it efficiently. Gearbox designed to launch it forward. Traction controls designed to keep it tightly on the road. All those pieces looked totally confused about this.

Car was like: “WTF are you doing? No! Please don’t do it. No…sthaap ouch, no, ouuuch, NOOOOOO. That hurt!”

A littlebit exaggerated video title… first of all he had a hard time getting the tires to break loose and after that he did a little burnout :D

Sounds like crap

Does not sound good to me, I know it would be great and fun to drive. But the sound does not evoke the same lust I find in it’s capability. M3 E92 for me!

Imo, it sounds exactly like a bad copy of C63 AMG’s exhaust notes, but deeper and horrendous sounding. I don’t exactly know what did BMW engineers think about the exhaust.
