This plus 10000000
That goes for M cars in general as far as I'm concerned. The last M cars I really liked were The E46 M3, especially the CSL, and the E39 M5.
This is the same 4.4l V8 that BMW is putting in every M car (M5, X5M X6M) and while it's a technologically amazing engine, it sounds awful and just doesn't have that M-car magic that the old high-revving naturally aspirated engines did.

ABSO-FREAKING-LOUTELY!!!! 
Quick story. about a year before I got my 2006 GT, I noticed an old BMW that was parked in the back of a lot in a few towns over. It was wihte and has the same wheels as the M6 above. When I got closer to it, my eyes couldn't believe what I was seeing, an original M6. I took the VIN and did a carfax, nothing came up as in the VIN didn't work. Most likely a grey-market car. The car had 4 year old inspection, all 4 tires were flat, but it was all there. The M steering wheel, shifter handle, the nice interior and no rust and a straight (albeit it) dirty body.
I kept thinking about it for a while like "do I ask about it and buy it"? But good sense got the best of me as these things can be BIG money pits. A few weeks later, the car was gone!! Someone else spotted the M6 and grabbed her up. I hope its restored and on the road. It was sad seeing it sit there wasting away.
