2020 330i Xdrive loaner has no exhaust burbles

I have a 2019 330i Xdrive and it's in for it's first oil change and a recall . They gave me a 2020 330i Xdrive as a loaner and it's similar to mine except for not having live cockpit professional and is running idrive 6. To my surprise when in sport mode there is almost no exhaust burbles at all, not even any pops when down shifting. My 2019 in sport mode burbles like crazy and also sounds way louder even at idle. I could not believe the difference between them both . Has Any one else heard of this or have experienced this ?

Probably had the most recent software update. Cross your fingers that yours doesn't have the same happen.

Got my car back yesterday and it seems the exhaust still pops now and then but there is way less burbles when driving around town. I'm pretty pissed about it bc I loved the way my car sounded before this software update. I was on 03/2019/xx and now on 03/2020/.24 . Also I lost all my widgets like weather ,news, and all others. I tried resetting idrive but no luck getting them back yet

Another user found that doing a full factory reset returned the apps - may work for you, too?

My car has more burbles now (2019/11), but the car is quieter overall as the exhaust valve no longer opens in Drive. Only in P/R/N in Sport.

And for some reason in Park in Eco Pro Ind. if I configure Sport steering...

I'm on 2019/11 and my exhaust valve doesn't even open in Park (in Sport)

It's been driving me nuts as it definitely did on the previous software version!

Oh that's wild, at first I thought it was intentional, but everyone is having different behaviour so I guess it's a bug in 2019/11.

Yeah I'll just stick with my 06/2019 version until my lease is up 😁. I tell them to not update my software like 3 times every time I bring it in lol

Got forced onto 2020/03 due to issues with the car (and a few thousand in warranty work lol!)

The confirmed exhaust function is now shut in drive in Sport or Sport+ and open otherwise in those modes. It's weird hearing the pops from only one side, and the new shift farts

Is this confirmed? I test drove a 2019 build and it had the pops and burbles but the car I ordered is a 2020 build. Really hope its not affected.

Not actually sure, you can enable the new Sporty/Reduced sound modes in the G20 properly now. If you do that it will actually make the exhaust function like it used to, so I assume the plan is to make that the default at some point.

My car is a February 2019 build, I know cars built after July are fairly different to mine
