Nothing to do with the engine sound, the s63tu m5 and m6 had active sound before the m4 did.
Right - so the engineers insulate the cars to eliminate real noise and then pump in artificial noise - that's truly brilliant and job security at its best. How about less insulation, no active sound and $1000 off the MSRP. Let the engineers work on performance and reliability items.
