Yep, that BMW S70/2 is incredible engine, more the history you read, more atleast I appreciate it, the way it has been desinged, manufactured and done.

And the sound is incredible, I wonder how they have done it, just pure luck?
These days it's a trend to "desing" exhaust sounds as good as possible, but when example racespec GTR has no silenders, it's hard to start "planning" anything.

Still the engine sounds heartbraking, no mather which revs it's running or were you outside or inside. And one more thing, which makes it 100% perfect; is the gearbox. Manual H-gearbox. I simply love the "pause" when driver changes the gears. Even it's a quick staight cuted box, the gap between the gears makes this whole package perfect.

This is just my opinnion, I think I'm not alone with this one?
