Doesn't bother me. Barely notice it unless I'm really trying to focus on it. In fact, forget deleting it, I'd like a volume control to turn it up. It'll make that HK option useful as I've barely listened to any music since I got the it.

To me, ASD is like a ventilation noise. You know, where you don't really notice how annoying it is until the ventilation shuts down and then everything becomes more quiet and serene?

Without ASD, highway cruising is now so much more quiet and serene .

If I wanted quiet and serene, I would have kept the 335

Don't you need a CDL to drive a 7? I'm not properly licensed for it.

My point is that I find that ASD creates a sort of annoying background rumble. I could not really put my finger on it until I pulled the plug on it.

I have an MPE on my car, so the loud S55 I6 growl and wail are present at will . But I do like it quiet in some circumstances .

I agree. I turned ASD off thinking I would just switch it back after a couple of days so the car was "as originally intended." Just wanted to try it out. I never turned it back on...exhaust gives plenty of feedback when you step on it, but otherwise its just quieter inside and I rather like it that way surprisingly. Just cleaner....in Sport+ I swear it was 50% of the sound, not 5%. Problem is once you turn it off, then turn it back on, you are always aware of the "fake" portion of the sound.

Pulled the plug last night.....must say, I miss the sound. I'll probably connect it back this weekend.

I wish i had done this without reading others comments on it. I think there was some placebo in me thinking that the sound is a lot quieter than what it really is. I'll have it coded out when i get an exhaust.

Looks like MY16 has different ASD-configuration; there is an option "Construction stage: later or equal 07/15" in my MY16. So SW and HW are different compared to MY15?

Another observation; my MY16 also have "Competition Paket=No" under 3000 ASD-configuration. I guess Competition package will have different ASD configuration?

Interesting about the competition package option. Wouldn't that be funny if the "sports exhaust" was simply different ASD coding. And was no change at all to the exhaust, other than black tips.

Competition sport muffler is different BMW item code, so I guess there should be some HW difference beside the black tips. But the price for normal 18307851179 and competition muffler 18307854736 is the same?

So, I've tried this Competition package Yes/No SW option today. I might say that with this option enabled there was some noise change. I had an impression that there is more sound from behind compared to "normal" ASD. And it sounded clearer too, less drone to my feet, little more raspier than normal.

I might be completely wrong because I was testing this only for 10 minutes and the exhaust flaps might not be opened yet with normal ASD. Both were tested in Sport/Manual.

Anybody else tried this SW option yet?

I coded out the ASD, but honestly, after a few weeks, I coded it back on.

It's really a matter of preference. IMHO it didn't feel like an M3 since it sounded more like a 335 inside the quiet cabin.

The only reason I know about ASD is from these forums, I don't think I wouldd have known otherwise.

Has anyone ever tried the Active Sound cancelling cable that you can buy for like $70?
I just bought one off a friend of mine who sold his M3.

You're not talking about the BMS can flap module are you? Which costs 4 times more that $70. Or some other device? I would just code it out, must easier and cheaper.

Coded mine off. I thought I would turn it back on but so far I love it. While I do miss a little bit of the noise inside the cabin, as others have said the exhaust gives plenty of feedback still when you get on it. Also, I found the ASD sound to be so "fake" sounding if that makes sense. I mean I know it's fake but it sounded bad....like a aftermarket Honda exhaust or something. Now the car sounds right. I don't think I'll go back.

From reading this thread, I do see that I can disable the Active Sound by taking the vehicle to the dealer and having them code it out. However, other people are mentioning "pulling the plug". Is there some plug I can pull so that I can try this out for myself without taking it to the dealer?
I need to test this out because I'm having popping noises when listening to the Satellite Radio, and some people have reported that disabling the Active Sound gets rid of this problem.

Not too sure why this thread is even sticky'd, it doesn't offer much. But the OP is from Germany and had a EU dealer do it. No where is this thread did anyone confirm a US dealer coded out active sound. And I've not read of it being done in any of the other threads on here.

Check out http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1228462 for how to pull the plug. There is also the self coding route if you have that setup.

I'll second what Firedown said. A sticky with four pages and still no one has said if a US dealer can code out the ASD. Has anyone had a US dealer code it out? If so, any charge for doing it? I know it can be unplugged or aftermarket coded out.
