fake engine sound: does it make a difference for DD?
I need some help here from the fellow M2 owner who has disable the fake engine sound using bimmercode or similar device.
My understanding is that turning off ASD using the bottom in the center console does not turn off fake engine sound completely, fake sound are in "Reduced" state. It still produce a low hum through the speaker all the time. Please correct me if this is wrong. M2 is my daily driver, and I drive on highway 30min-1hr at times, hearing the hum and drones for that long kind of bothers me. My old A4 was best for highway cruising, stable and quiet, but a bit boring to drive. Even the GR86 seems to be less noisy than M2! But that's can't be, right?? M2 suppose to be a luxury sport coupe, where GR86 is a econobox sport coupe!!! I am not a big exhaust sound guy, I like to open the window and hear the sound when I want to, and close the window and enjoy the luxury interior and the excellent performance of my car. So I am hoping the fake engine noise is the cause of the problem. For those that have it turn off, what is your opinion? Are they still loud and noticeable in "Reduced" mode? |

Bugged me on my past F80/82s, non issue for me on the current M2. Maybe I’m just used to it now years later. Seems like everyone is doing it in some form or another.

It’s not intrusive compared to the f8x gen. Just cruising around you won’t really hear it even with the sound button pressed. Without the sound button pressed I can’t hear it at all. At WOT I actually quite like it, without it the car is super quiet even at redline. If you want exhaust but no ASD, you can get a valve controller for $300. The exhaust never fully opens under stock programming so you will want that anyway.

I don't hear it at all on the highway. I switch to the Efficient engine mode, and I'm not even sure if it's on or not. I use Sport+ when driving around town in the lower gears, and I like what I'm hearing. To me, it sounds like it's mostly coming from the exhaust, if not fully, and I like it.
