On a positive note the cars look well designed and I look forward to driving one--more torque, less weight, more CF. All good except sound.
Active sound transmits/enhances ENGINE sound, not exhaust sound...
There is probably enough sound deadening material that you won't be able to hear much engine induction or exhaust sounds from inside the cabin of the new M3. For better or worse, BMW felt it necessary to electronically amplify the sound.
