Don't get me wrong, the new M cars look great, but trying to clutch onto the good old days is something that comes off as a little ridiculous. It's a new era. It's ok--we know turbos have lag. It's inevitable.
Agreed, it definitely sounds like Active Sound to me

Here's a video of the M5 with Active Sound enabled and disabled to see the difference



The M4 sounds almost exactly the same inside the cabin as the M5 with Active Sound...
