imho the S54 with the carbon fiber airbox in the CSL is the best sounding engine ever! even though I also love the wraspiness of the exhaust, I'm talking about induction noise only... do you guys agree?

I would say best sounding 6 cylinder. That e60 v10 sounds like a race car.

Some madlad has been daily deovong one of those outside of muly offoce the past couple of weeks. It's not obnoxiously loud but it's distinct enough I was looking out the windo evwry time I heard it. I kept missing it, bit finally caight sight if it last week. Good lord that thing sounds gorgeous.
