Got it. I don't get it. Are there horses around you for miles and miles while you're driving around spirited because if we're being honest, you've got to do spirited driving or accelerating and decelerating to get the really loud pops that would potentially scare anything. I drive in sport plus a good amount and sometimes not for spirited driving but for the quick and powerful responsiveness (which you seek) and when I'm doing that I just get the burbles and low pops but definitely not the loud pops or bangs. That's just the solution for not scaring the horses lol. Good luck with the removal of the pops and bangs tho

I’ve followed this thread from the beginning, and it’s ridiculous. Why should a performance BMW, though it’s not a X3M, sound like a Lexus? Hell no! In my opinion, it should sound like a 1967 big block 427 Vette! Oh yeah. Corral the horses, just as you would with thunder and lightning. Good thing the OP doesn’t live in my neighborhood; F-18’s fly by with the sound of freedom. OOHRAH!

I know this will probably make me sound old af, but as someone who grew up in the 90s right about when the internet was picking up steam, I remember it being a place where people could virtually enjoy each other’s company. There were a few wackos here and there, but that’s a statistical absolute.
Seems like now it’s fashionable to be a troll, or a tool, or some combination of the two. They’re cropping up everywhere (especially on Twitter and enthusiast forums) and it’s really just such a bore. “My performance car is too loud!” “I bought a Maserati, but it won’t drive like a Prius! It sounds too much like a slightly subdued Ferrari. Woe is me!” “Porsches are quiet, docile cars. They are typical of German haute-engineering. All performance, no fuss, and zero engine or exhaust noise. That’s how cars should work, mein Gott!” Give me a bloody break. |

I want mine to do it even more. I also want to see if there's a way to make ASD play more exhaust sounds on the outside of the car. Maybe mount some external speakers.
I won't be happy until my X3 sounds like the Viper that used to live in the neighborhood, only louder. Except when I want to sneak out at night and grab a frosty from Wendy's. Then I want it to sound like a Tesla. Loud pipes save lives! |

You're not crazy. I hate it too. I want a quiet car. I find the only people admiring it are my garage attendants and valets.

My wife informed me last night that she doesn't like the "farting" and also doesn't like that it's loud when it starts up. She also told me she thinks it'll bother the neighbors when I drive down the block.
I guess it's either I leave it Adaptive mode when she's in the car or I get a wife-ectomy. I really like the sound.... |

Mine thinks it's too quiet and wishes it sounded like my AMG.... I don't recommend the wife-ectomy, I did that once only to discover the newer, upgraded ones cost about twice as much as the originals. Last edited by ParadigmDawg; 07-30-2018 at 10:10 AM.. |
