Stumbled across this ... "The culprit is the integration of the gasoline particulate filter, which is absolutely necessary to comply with the new limit values of certain exhaust gas components and increases the exhaust backpressure."

My M40i sounds like someone sat on a whoopie cushion while accelerating. The closest thing to a pop happens as you downshift. It's definitely different from the 18/19 models. It's a bit depressing.

Most if not all G01 X3 M40i's are built in Spartanburg in the US, with the M40d being built in Roslyn, South Africa. It's has been quoted / floated by others that the plant in Roslyn, South Africa may start building the M40i's for the LCI version in 2020 onwards as well... http://wiki.bavariantechnic.com/inde...e=VIN_Decoding So for the VIN, the following is how to break it down: Digits 1-3 = Manufacturers Code Digits 4-7 = Vehicle Model Code Digit 8 = Safety System Identifier Digit 9 = Check Digit Digit 10 = Model Year Digit 11 = Plant Code Digits 12-17 = Sequential Production No. My car has the corresponding digits which equate to Model Year 2020 & Spartanburg, which is correct for my X3 M40i MY2020. |

Just ordered an M40i to be delivered in June, and was just wondering if someone could post a stock exhaust video of a well broken in 2020 model. Hope things got a bit looser than in earlier videos... Still a bit unsure about the exhaust change for the model year but settled on more power...

The burbles and pops on the 2020 are programmed from the DME to only happen at higher RPM. You have to be around 4-5,000 or higher to get pops. Going around parking lots though you can a little burble in sport plus at slower speeds. I also found that if you stop somewhere and shut off the engine when you jump back in within like 15 minutes (not sure the exact time cut off) and press sport plus then turn on the car you get a hot start which is like a Roar. It Revs high and burbles coming back down. It's pretty aggressive and it's wild. |

Which drive modes make the exhaust pops/crackles on the 18/19 build M40i?
Is it only Sport Plus? I sometimes get them on Sport Individual where I've set the engine to 'plus', but everything else on Comfort. But....it's a bit unpredictable. Sometimes I'll drive it exactly the same way (eg rev and then let off the throttle suddenly), and it makes nice pops. Other times nothing. What are the factors that make the noise?

It does awesome bursts when launching the car on ramp to merge on highway (safely of course). I have MY2019 US without particulate filter though. |

It feels random because if the car does all the shifting you probably don't pay much attention to rpm and gearing; eg if it up-shifts right before you let off the gas you likely get no pops. Play around in full manual mode for a few days and you'll get a better feel for how it works. |

Thanks Deladude
I love the exhaust/engine sounds! (not so much the fake interior ones which I've turned off)

Just wondering if there is a way to subdue the loud cold starts on demand? Dont get me wrong, I love the cold start sound, but it's a bit neighbour-unfriendly at 6am.

To make it even quieter I back out of my driveway holding gas and break to quiet it even more. Takes some getting used to but it helps with my Catted Downpipe and cold start noise. |

The exhaust sounds is very disappointing on my 2020. It sounds amazing at startup and when you’re really at high RPMs and downshift.
Is there a way to open exhaust valve by pulling fuse with no error code? |

Yes. If you pull fuse 203 after the valve is open, it will stay open and won't throw any codes. Sounds too simple to be true, but it really is that easy!
