Active sound: do you care?
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Will it matter to you if the F8x M3/4 has this as well? |

I think it is a bit silly but it would not by itself be a tipping point for me. My understanding is that it is easily disabled with the M5. Though I understand that it is the principle of it that is the real issue for some.

Active sound just is too cheesy and phony for me to have to listen to every time I drove the car. I bet BMW will not have it included in the new M3/4. If BMW has a simple iDrive setting that allowed it to be turned off then I would just deactivate it and that would be fine. |

I've been driving an F10 M5 test car for 6 days now, and it hasn't bothered me one bit yet. Of course you do wonder if the sound comes from the engine or the ASD at times, but it's exactly the same.
Best regards, south

^You and those blues. BTW you haven't shown up to a TSE drive in a long time. We would love to see your face. The group has grown substantially over the last year or so. A bunch of e92m now. Also we are caravaning to bimmerfest east. I am sure you can make time, you know with all the time you're on the forums I assume you just chill all day lol.
http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=710948 tse drive this coming Sunday http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=715508 Bimmerfest East caravan Oh and to return on topic, NO it wouldn't soley make me change my mind for purchasing the car. I am sure someone will code it out. It should, IMO, be an idrive option to disable. I am more concerned with the size/weight. I am hoping it is not much larger than the e92. Aesthetics need to just right. I love my e92m and for me to get rid of it this car is going to have to be a looker. And lastly price. I will seriously consider if the car comes well equipped for 75-80ish but if the car is 85-90k They can keep it. I will wait for the m2. I have a bad feeling that this new M4 is going to be a 70k base car. While I hope not, I have been looking at the price of what a normal 3 has become and it really has gone sky high.
