1. Can't hear anything over the tires being spread all over the track...
2. Have we all forgotten the V8 rumble from the S65?!! |

As good as the G30 may be, the 5er will likely be xDrive only which is such a disappointment unless there's a 528i but wouldn't be surprise if BMW decides to go an all xDrive lineup on the 5er for Canada.
Edit: Well forget what I just posted. it's all xDrive for the LCI F10 in Canada. The 528i was the only RWD model available pre-LCI but looks like it's all xDrive going forward for the 5er in Canada. Shame. |

Although I'd be shocked if the sound is left as it is. My F10 550i was too damn quiet. |

The F30 is lighter than the E90, but I don't think that was the case for the F10 and E60. Curb weight for the E60 550i is 3,946lbs and the F10 550i is 4,343lbs.

The 550i is suppose to be a comfortable cruiser. It's not suppose to be loud and out. Not every BMW is made for little boys who giggle when their BMW sounds like a ricer or racecar.

Screams of Pain
Seen the car in real life and it will be a great one.
I am a bit concerned about the extreme tire screeching noises. Also; is me or does it seem a bit understeery? |

You can have both
A flick of a switch is all that separate both characters. Maserati does this well and it is not augmented.

The F10 is quite a bit heavier than the E60, as pointed out previously. In fact with the F10, BMW took a step back compared to the E60 as regards lightweight construction... The E60 had a aluminium chassis front end (from the bulkhead and forward) whereas the F10 is back to an all steel chassis... |
