Lame? I'm not of those "ooh the engine looks so lovely I'm going to make love to every single hole in it" types, but the I think it sounds like angry Darth Vader revving the Death Star on his way to some unsuspecting system about to be erased from existence.

no, it sounds like a total animal of an engine, strangled and silenced by noise regulations.

As mentioned, get rid of the stock crap and put a straight through H sectioned twin pipe on it, let it roar like a v8 should.

You'd have to mid mount it.... not for any technical reason... just so you could see it more of the time. :cool:

You'd do better to run one engine to the front end, gives you 4x4 traction then...
You'd also need a car a F*CK sight bigger than a 3-series...

I suppose you'd have to work it opposite i.e M3 V8 to front wheels and V10 to rear.

Or jsut plant either V8 or V10 in the front and be done with it.
