Is the strong rasping sound, almost like it's going to back fire when you rev at stand still normal with the S?
It's a nice sound anyone else get it?

It does sound remarkably like the old minis the Brit ones I had the joy of growing up round them so I wondered if the boys at Beema had worked on the sound to make it like the old S's.
