Certainly don't miss the supercharger sound as the R56 comes with this beast standard.

havent got my MCS yet and from what u had heard people say i wasnt holding out for much in terms of exhaust noise but i'm fairly impressed with that!

The exhaust note sounds great outside of the car but it's not that audible inside. The dealer had put the rear seats down in an attempt to make it louder when I had a test drive but I could hardly hear it, I put the window down and still couldn't hear very much.Before anyone says i'm a boy racer , i don't want it really loud it would just be nice if you could hear what everyone else hears as you go past.

this is true, i guess there is so much sound insulation in the car now. I could hear the R53 gurgle more I think especially when sitting in the back

would have liked to got a better vid, the sound quality on a camera is *****. oh and remember this car is still on run in, that was only to 5k.

i'm not too bothered about hearing it from inside the car. i had a sports exhaust on my last car and it was too loud. driving at 70/80 on the motorway did my head in after a while

^ good point, I'm sure with the windows down in a built up area you can hear the zorst sound
