The exhaust sound of my new M4 is quieter than my old M3

Forgive the ignorant question, but I just switched from an F80 M3 to an F82 M4.

The M3 had a stock exhaust and I loved the sound, especially when I engaged the throttle mapping button near the shift lever or on a cold engine start (I could notice the instant difference).
My new M4 is also stock, but the exhaust sounds a lot quieter and there is no difference with the throttle mapping button on.
Is this normal? Am I missing something? Any insights and/or enlightenment are welcome.

Cheers!

Was it used ? Make sure valves are plugged in.

I'm new to this as well. Just picked up my 2016 M4 less than two weeks ago and haven't had the chance to read about all the settings. I do notice that my car starts in Efficient mode for the engine setting. It's pretty quiet when driving. When I switch it to Sport, the exhaust is much louder/throatier. Not sure if that's what you're experiencing but that's what this newbie here has noticed.

Sound can change with Software Level.
Are both cars ZCP or non ZCP?

Was "exhaust sound" in previous M3 = active sound and now active sound disabled by previous owner in M4 (if used)?
