I did an extended test drive with a 2019 X3 M40i and I've also driven and heard many others and I've loved how loud and obnoxious and crazy it can be with the pops and cracks. And then I drive this home and of course I'm trying to be easy on it but I want to hear a little bit of noise so I flip it to sport and go for some backfires and nothing....... it was a huge reason for me to get an X3 M40i and not an M340i or a sedan
How many miles have you done? I did a very relaxed 500 miles so far and just this week started driving a little more aggressive here and there but overall, nothing crazy and below 4000 rpm except twice when it entered kickdown.
I'm only at like 130 right now. Haven't gone far at all yet
