Don't worry, combustion engines will keep existing for very long time, despite the incredible lobbyism of certain balloon corporations.

Bruh just do a muffler delete LOL. If you can get a 340i im sure $100 muffler delete wont hurt and it will sound better than the 2020 one.

Please take into account that many countries outside of the US (including UK in my case) = every modification must be declared on insurance, costs sky rocket, muffler deletes are strictly illegal, removing an OPF is illegal etc. It's becoming more and more necessary for cars to come 'good' from the factory yet it seems they are actually becoming worse from factory. As said above, thank politicians who have 0 interest in the car scene.

Hi everyone, it occurs probably because Bmw put on 40ì model the same European software. Due to bigger restriction vs Us models here in Eu we have less power and less sound. But the solution is just around the corner with good software update by some tuner you will have all the sound as previous models. In Europe unfortunately we have also to get rid of OpF vale on exhaust

Are you saying this is a software only difference?

glad it was. Noise emission legislations are making their way throughout Europe. It has to do with that.

For sure not as gay as it does in the 2021 above. The rest is a matter of preference. As I have said many times - sound and noise are 2 related terms but should never be confused. I am so grateful for exhaust flaps, making 2 different worlds possible to co-exist...!

Florida drivers do not need to obtain a yearly inspection for their vehicles, nor are they required to have a vehicle emission test.

Simple, relatively inexpensive fix:
Fabspeed catted downpipe (emissions compliant). It will sound awesome. If you want to adjust bubbles and pops (and gain power) add a Bootmod3. |

And yet the Genius' will tell you it's not that different. I brought this up to them a couple weeks ago and they brushed me off saying it's not that different. I also don't like the inability to disable the auto stop/start but I understand why.

I test drove a 2019 BMW X4 M40i it had all the pops and crackles, but I ended up getting a 20 model. When I first got it the car barley had any pops and crackles, but after driving a while it's like the whole exhaust just changed. It now does stupid loud bangs and back fires like crazy for just being a stock exhaust.

Never driven a hybrid (except a short test drive of en eTron), but the Start/Stop on my F36 is the best (least annoying) I have driven. I assumed I will be disabling it, but it is so smooth that it doesn't bother me at all.
