If I test drove a 2020 and made the decision to order a new one based on that drive/sound I would be extremely upset to know I was shafted on the 2021's where you have to pay more to get less. I would complain to bmw na non stop about this guys

Maybe they're just trying to get everyone to buy the M Performance Exhaust it's well worth it anyways!

This might be a stupid question, but you guys are in sport mode trying to see if the car burbles right? Lol

I'm curious if you're able to use bootmod for 2021 models? Or if they have the "new ECU" that doesn't allow tuning of any kind?

I suspect they are doing two things.
1. Keeping some uniformity with the European market 2. Making some clear seperation now that the M3/4 has launched Sucks really. |

right - and while I might agree, is there anyone we can call to confirm? I feel like this should have been noted somewhere as a lot of us (not all, but a lot) had the exhaust notes/pops..etc weighing into our buying decision.

That's really sucky news. Call me childish, but I live for the pops/bangs/burbles; lucky to have gotten a 2020 w/ MPE. Engine sounds and exhaust notes are such a massive part of the driving experience for me, which is actually one of the main reasons why I'm not fully on board with electric vehicles at the moment (I get it, who doesn't want 100% tq available at 0 RPM, but still...).

If you haven't gotten the car from the dealership yet. Don't sign anything and ask for a test drive first. It's not your car until you sign the paper at the dealer. I got a 2020 with mp3 and it sound amazing and if it didn't, I would not take the car. It's literally like one of the main reasons I picked this car.
