WTF
OK, am I really reading about an amplified car sound that sounds like a high performance car but actually performs the same? WTF is going on, have BMW Fans really become little bitches....I am ashamed and would be more ashamed if the Audi/porsche and even ricers got wind of this bullshit...
Here we go again with the blow off valves and spoilers or even that cyclonic thingy that connected to the intake .....debate ably pointless conversions that get small gains if any. Here you go, maybe that sounds amp would make this car faster

Personally I'm loving the car. Every day it gets better. In terms of the sound inside and out. It sounds bloody cool inside the cabin and I really enjoy that. And then when I put my foot down it sucks in the horizon and I enjoy that. And when I visit my mates they say they can hear it coming down the road and it sounds bloody cool to them. I enjoy that too.
So all in all. Well done BMW. You've sold me a car I really enjoy. Just what I wanted when I bought it. Oh and it goes round corners really well too and stops on it's nose when it needs to. I enjoy that too. |

And that video is about creating sound for the Audi eTron, which is a fully electric car that does not have an intrinsic sound. This is one part a pedestrian safety issue, and another part driver feedback issue. However, they are not making it sound like an ICE, rather they are creating some futuristic motor noise. Given that the only noise you can have with an electric car is a fake noise, it might as well sound good. The Active Sound is a totally different story. This approach has a potential to completely take out the acoustic quality of an engine from the driver enjoyment equation. Noise is such an integral part of the character of an engine, and yet none of that will matter if this becomes common place. Nothing stopping a Camry from sounding like a Ferrari. How's that ok? |

VAG and BMW used to use the piped in noise but as technology has advanced they have now started to do it electronically. It's the future, smaller more efficient engines giving the torque and horsepower we want but not the sound we want. The manufactures give us the full experience by artificially giving the sound into the cabin. I suspect we will see this technology filter down the ranges pretty quickly as the results are quite impressive. It fooled me and I'm no professional but to fool the likes of Chris Harris and other pros no easy task. Just have to wait for Ford to launch their 200bhp 1.0 litre, 3 cylinder eco boost with optional V8 soundtrack. ![]() Cheers Lee |

I swear there's one of these in the current 328i. The lonaer car I recently had possessed this whistling sound that was RPM dependant and it sounded like it was coming from a stereo speaker/s. It was ok in sound.

I wonder if you can do a BMW Performance Exhaust sound file mod to make it sound more bad ass. It would probably cost $1500 installed at BMW but you wouldn't void your warranty. Or you could just modify the sound file yourself for the golf tee mod. Maybe a catless DP sound file. And throw some extra turbo whine and blow off valve in there too.

Another reason i dont like the new m135.
The Stupid m badge on a car thats not a m! The hideous front lights! There is nothing wrong with the sound of a 135! Any good reason why they did this?

The newer f20/21 is a newer model, it's more insulted, more refined, has less NVH and conforms to newer EU legislation. The M Perfomance division who helped developed the car (Hence the M Badge) felt the interior noise of the engine didn't give the driver enough involvement or feedback. They decided to go with a high tech sound symposer as they had with the M5. Cheers Lee |

Blimey so the majority really really dont like. Wonder if BMW actually care or of reading this will take any feedback???
Problem I have is, now I know its there i want NOT to like it. But, when you drive the car, it sounds bloody realistic, addictive and fab ![]() If the M5 and M135 have this, the incoming M3/M4 will surely have it? I think we have to accept it, or keep to the previous gen cars.

well being a M135i owner (and numerous BMW ex-owners), I have to say that I hate the idea of producing fake sound from the speakers
I would have prefer how they did on the Z4 3.0 that I owned years ago, a simple sound duct into the cabin I dont understand why they cant do it again on the newer M cars, despite being Turbocharged and all those, I believe with the right design the sound duct should work. (they might need to ask some speaker manufacturers to get involved since its pretty much the same idea) for some reason my M135i isnt as loud as I would like both inside and out (unlike most of the owners have claimed, or I could have a faulty unit?), but it does sound fine, the artificial sound works fine indeed though again I would prefer some real sound |
