From what I have seen, I would totally agree.
Maybe you will be able to modify the exhaust system to wake things up a bit, I am sure the aftermarket companies will have many products on offer that will regain some of the former S85's bark but realistically probably not all.

the new M5 is completely muted, except for some gear shift 'farts' as it has been described. The interior is completely silent, except for the fake engine soundtrack that bmw has added as a "feature". You'll need to go to Akra for an exhaust if you want any reasonable sound, bmw even featured it on one of the press cars at an event in the recent past.
Part of the enjoyment of the S85 is the sound, which is intoxicating, and heat warming, you cannot take it away and expect a similar driving experience, i do hope they learn and tune the new m6 more agressive just like they did with the e63 M6
(and please dont add that active fake sound crap!)
