How to get burbles? Tune reccomendations
I have a 2023 330i. I'm looking to have a better sounding car, including burbles. Things I've looked into are unlocking sports+, awe track exhaust, and some tunes such as bm3 and jb4.

What would be the best option keeping in mind the price and that I still have 30k miles left on my warranty since I bought it new.

It looks like you have the same thread in 2 different sections. Here is my responses again

Higher flow downpipes (catted or catless) will increase your exhaust sound, including the burble, so it's much more noticeable.

Another way is by doing a flash tune like the bootmod3.
Piggybacks, like the JB4, do not change the burble sound.

put in sport plus gearbox in sport and drive around at the redline for an hour unlocked burbles and exhaust backfires for me

you need to be in sport plus for burbles, exhaust need to be red hot for backfires but burbles are there all the time

Thank you for the response. Does my model come with burbles stock without the need of tuning? Could I get a VSRF Catless Downpipe and an AWE Track Exhaust and notice burbling? Also do you know what tunes would not void warranty? Thank you again

Does this work for a base model?

i have no idea man. does your have have a cinema screen or proper dash? those with a cinema screen says the trick i used didn't work on theirs

not sure if catless and exhaust will. they will make existing burbles louder, but they won't produce burbles if there aren't any in the first place

all tunes void warranty

Yeah I have the cinema screen they started in 2023. I heard that 2023 is like LCI or something so it does not come with burbles.

As far as I know, the newer models have a lower burble stock, it's not completely gone but less noticeable ( I'm not 100% on this)

a catless downpipe and a track exhaust will certainly raise the exhaust sound by a lot including the burble.

LCI models unfortunately have no burbles stock. You will hear a bit with exhaust modifications,but nothing like pre-lci models. Like Mike said, if you just want pops/bangs, go for BM3.

I have the AWE and initially had zero burbles. After a few months and some hard driving sessions, I've managed to get just a few burbles hah, but that's it. However, on warm starts I'll get a few "small" pops (definitely more than when I rev).
