I honestly wouldn't have added the MPE option to my 21 540i if it wasn't going to have the pops. I'm very disappointed that I wasn't told this when I ordered. I specifically said that was what I wanted to hear.
Waste of money. Now I need to figure out how to get the sound back. |

Huh? I would consider 2020MY a plus in this case.

I distinctly remember the exhaust note on my 2020 M340i changing over the first 5000 miles and settling into a pleasant but not loud enough six cylinder noise with a bit too much artificial after fire.
My F80 with an M Performance exhaust made the right amount of after fire and was dynamic enough that it didn't sound artificial.

It also doesn't shut off every time like in traffic etc, there's parameters to the system and when it does turn off, it's probably not a time you're about to punch it, but if you did you'd still have the instant go. My X3m and f80 are both set to off lol so personally the feature is stupid.

I've noticed this as well since I work with these cars. I even messaged our product rep asking this question almost 2 weeks ago. He didn't reply lol. I have a feeling that this is tied to the new 48V mild hybrid system.

Yes, it is OPF. Same situation on the M5 Competition. No more pops and bangs on overrun.

i have a 2021 m340i and i so far have about 1100 miles on it. at first it didnt pop at all. right now, it pops every once in a while but nothing compared to the 2020 model. kind of underwhelming honestly. cannot wait for bm3 to come out with a tune for it!

Other than not much or any pops how's the overall sound? Is it a nice deep aggressive sound? That's what I care about . Pops and burbles are ok but I can see that getting old after a while but a nice deep aggressive note always sounds good

2020 is more in line with the F3x 40i. The 2021 is in line with an Audi S

Popcorn exhausts are so overrated. Glad to see BMW clean this up.

You really know how much power is granted to politicians, some of them unelected, when they start controlling the flaps on our exhausts
It's outrageous that as combustion engines make a final salute, we are strangulating the thrill of motoring like this.
