yes its a standard love it or loath it feature on the 640d and newer 6pots diesels, i personally like it, my wives 530d F10 has no active sound and it shows.
By the way i think the active sound was experience was updated on the later cars, they also have a larger bore exhaust that maybe part of the set up, anyway enjoy it !! |

Thats interesting, I thought it needed S9W1A to be added to the vehicle order, but if not then great, I'd like to experience it, from what I've heard it sounds quite good.

You will have to give it a try. See what 0-60 you can do

It gives a nice burble especially when in sport plus giving it the beans. Yes it can all be done remotely which is handy for those that don't want to try and code themselves etc

sadly it will still sound like a tractor on the outside, albeit a good looking one.
I dont understand the BMW strategy here, its very possible to have diesels sound fruity, my neighbour has an Audi A7 3.0tdi, the engine note externally sounds amazing, a sort of high pitched whine that gets louder the faster you go. Or you can go for an exhaust upgrade for about £400. |

I agree that trim really lets it down, flat or brushed aluminium is OK but that textured effect is not for me. I guess you may find someone that will trade the polar dark wood for the metal one, or you can get it wrapped in piano black
Also another thing to consider, this will show my geekiness, if your car is an AUC car, tell the dealer that your heater unit is playing up i.e. dials not responding when you twist them, odds on the unit will will be replaced under warranty with a newer version that has a very nice piano finish rather than that matt black, trust me thus will lift the centre section, i had it done on my 6 |

Which parts of the heater controls are piano black? Mine's not AUC but if it looks ok I might be willing to find one myself and fit it. Edit: ok I have found a picture, I see what you mean. It seems it would work better with the rest of the trim in Piano Black though? |

Yeah that's my worry. The piano black trim does look better than the aluminium though, I would rather the black ash but finding any complete sets anywhere is harder than it seems

You can buy a add on contraption that beefs up the sound like the Audi uses but it's expensive. The active sound doesn't sound bad at all either and has fooled many that have been in my car.

im considering doing a NBT EVO ID6 retrofit from Germaniks, is there anyone on the forum who can help with the install? I've done similar before but this seems more complicated

You might or might not be interested to know that I cancelled my original order, and ordered a different one from BMW direct with full AUC. The price was more but made up slightly by the fact I didn't have to buy a warranty in the first year. Here's the spec
Deep Sea Blue Metallic Sunroof Comfort Access Soft Close Doors Comfort Seats Full Digital display HUD Heated Steering Wheel Harman/Kardon High Beam Assist Reversing Camera Much happier with the spec, it's 100% of what I wanted originally and more. £27.5k Last edited by 325_bucks; 01-18-2017 at 12:02 PM.. |
