Well even BMW had that whole collaboration with Hans Zimmer... and although that's not even close to what I'm describing, it's at least some recognition that enthusiasts like sound.

While I agree there isn't much demand for it, there also isn't a ton of demand for the performance variants (compared to the non performance variants). You're going to sell a lot more 330i's than you will m3's, but that doesnt mean you don't make an m3.

All this being said... im just bitter that I'll eventually have to succumb to driving a silent tablet PC with wheels attached to it. I don't care if it's fast if it doesn't provide me with any theater and drama.
