The other reason that some V8s sound different is the crankshaft. An S65 E92 M3 crank is a cross plane crank which is designed for smoothness where as a Ferrari uses a flat plane crank which is lighter in weight but not as well balanced.Sep 30, 2011

Like everything else release date and the price of the new BMW M9 concept is still kept a top secret. With the amount thought and effort that went into the design of the M9, it'll have a price tag to match. Rumours say the price will be around $300,000 USD to $500,000 USD.
There is no BMW M version of the 7 Series, as BMW did not want its flagship saloon to be powered by a high-revving engine, and as the recent top-performing versions (usually the BMW 760Li) have V12 engines which while powerful are considered too heavy for a sporty offshoot.
The Audi R8 twin turbo V8 is a flat-plane crank engine. Cross or flat-plane cranks only apply to V8s - the R10 has a V12 so the crank is of a completely different design altogether.Dec 17, 2006
