The engine was an amazing feat of engineering. As was the S54 in the E46 M3. It doesn't mean they don't both sound like crap

I fully admit the V10 thing is just a personal preference, but I think more people will agree the S54 was not a great sounding engine, despite being an engineering masterpiece in a car that is sure to be an eternal classic.
