im not gay but i think the 320i straight 6 sounds nasty. ive had a 316i 318i 320i 325i and now got a 335i :D but i just like the raspy sound of the b20... wish i had the raspy sound of the 320i but power of my b35..

An m20b20 has a short stoke giving it the awsome sound, a 6 branch and decent exhaust like a scorpion sounds rather sexual when booted. kills the sound of any 325i :D

2.7s dont sound to shabby either

Mind you, when mine was a 2.0, the scorpion sounded great! Nice deep sound

With a 2.7, its sounds similar but just not the same

M20B20 engine sound FTW! Lollll

haha i know there have been some silly replys but that is below the belt my 318i touring had 240k miles and it sounded like a beetle hated it but it was a freebe. that sound has put me of 316 and 318s for ever. if i had one again it would have to be immaculate
