I do wish that the car was indeed louder. When I cold started by F87C, I feel like it had a louder tone to it and in M2 (mode), it felt like it was louder. Maybe the motor will open up more the more I drive it?
You are also 100% correct on point 1, although I don't mind the normal display, I do wish that I could connect the sport display with the M1 button. Oh well, it's just a button and a knob twist away.
If we're talking nit picky gripes, mine is the "sport display". This setting shows the HP and TQ in real time. It's dumb in the G87 (two small bars inside the driver's gage instead of two large dials on the screen like the F87C). I wish it was like the F87C, it was easy to read and fun to watch, would rather have that in the "Sport display."
And of course the ingress and egress on the carbon buckets but hey, that's to be expected and at this point, I don't really care anymore.

Mmm your gripes are very minor and can be addressed I think.
First, I posted a video of the sounds with the button on/off. As the manual states, it only changes the actual exhaust in Sport and Sport Plus (Engine modes).
In efficient mode you hear a difference inside the cabin (fake noise) when you push the button.
Here’s the video:

Also, when you say “M2” or “M1” they don’t mean much to us because we don’t know how you have them setup. It could be that you set them up as “Efficient” in the engine mode, and so the car is quieter.
Try to setup the presets (M1 or M2) as Sport Plus and with exhaust “ON”, and immediately press that button when you cold start the engine. The exhaust gets much louder.
Also, you can see the sports displays on the iDrive screen as a full screen thing I’m sure, I’ll see how to show you later, unless Justin has a good photo of it handy.
If you’re referring to having the sport displays (power and torque) in the “sport” mode for the dashboard, you can, as you can setup different widgets depending on mode (Road/Sport).
For example, I have the map showing in the “Road” display, and the tire pressure/temperature in “Sport”.
