As mentioned above, the sound of the rev matches is not even if the 1M. There are two separate engine sounds superimposed in the first lap clip. It sounds nothing like a N54 or any 6 cylinder for the fact. It is actually sound of an actual V8 S65 engine in the back drop testing that does not appear in the video (E9X M3 or a GTS).

In the second lap clip, there is no S65 M3 chasing so you clearly hear the whooshing typical x35 bland and boring sounds is that of the 1M that you hear from 1:15 onwards.

I'm sure our autos supposedly blips on the down change but ive never been satisfied with the sound. Not as satisfying as say an M3 DCT blipping down the gears. When you change down on a 135 auto it just sounds, well like a normal auto and as if you're driving in too low a gear.
