My information is from a 2025 with ID8/ID8.5

24 with ID 8, park up when the car is warm, engine running, open the window or door, sport mode, switch iconic on/off, you can hear the valve moving.

Maybe a stupid question but, what happens if you mute the radio, do you still hear the exhaust?

I have to correct the record here.

I coded ASD off in bimmercode, but the ASD is not actually off until you disable additional ASD settings in expert mode.

I switched ASD completely off today, just drove the car around and heard very few if any burbles, and much less exhaust noise which WAS actually coming from the speakers still.

Anyway, clearly BMW does a pretty good job spoofing the exhaust sounds because I had a hard time telling. I was worried about installing my aftermakret exhaust becuase the car was so lound in sport stock... now I know that was all fake noise.

Do you have the windows down? The car is not loud but it's certainly not quiet either in sport mode. There is a decent amount of noise without being obnoxious in my opinion.

The high was 32 deg today, so no to windows down haha.

I am more referring to the sound inside the cabin. It's not loud at all, I'm sure it's decent outside the car but if I am driving the car I am never outside it.
