Well, if BMW decided to take out all the insulation so that you can hear the engine noise, then we are going to have a whole new crowd complaining that there is way too much road noise coming inside the cabin for a $70+ car.
BMW knows and agrees that the engine notes of previous models are ,without a doubt, better.
Not many will disagree about the engine notes
E60 M5 V10 > F10 M5 V8 TT
E9X M3 V8 > F80 M3/4 I6 TT
don't know if I named them right but anyways.
So my guess is, they just wanted to add a little more flare to the "M" car experience. All in all, I like it cause you paid for a world class engine and you deserve to hear the damn thing!
