Which Car Makes The Best Noise: BMW 1M Or M235i?

Since the BMW M2 is almost with us, we thought we'd prepare ourselves by taking the coupe's two closest relatives out for a drive. Which do you think makes the best noise?

The 1M uses an N54 twin-turbo 3.0-litre straight-six, while the M235i has the later twin-scroll turbo 3.0-litre N55. The full feature on these two cars is coming soon, but for now, give the video a watch and cast your vote!

1M sounds pretty good. M235 sounds like a V6.Pretty sad how turbocharging starts to ruin the iconic l6 sound :|
