2 tenths of a second isn’t that big of a deal coming from 4.1 seconds currently. There is always a tune if you felt the need for a 3.5 seconds 0-60mph SUV with the 50i M-Sport.
The current M-Sport exhaust on the 50i is one of, if not THE best sounding BMW’s in a long time. Totally isolated with the windows up but awesome from behind. My guess is the exhaust on the M50i will sound the same with maybe a few “pops” programmed in. It will be great. I am excited to see how BMW could engineer a already awesome sounding exhaust better. I just hope they don’t pipe in artificial exhaust noise through the speakers.
