That was my complaint with my 1M. Everyone would complement how good the car sounds but I could never hear anything with the windows up.

I think that's why Active Sound Design exists. Lots of manufacturers do it.

True, but I dont know of any who implement it quite like BMW, with engineered sound pumped through the speakers. At any rate, first I bought a coding setup to code it out; then I bought the bypass harness. Then, guess what?? It doesnt seem to be bothering me as much anymore! I think Im semi subconsciously driving more in comfort vs sport mode, however, as a result of the step up in cabin volume as a result of ASD programming. I can handle comfort mode asd fine. Its when I hit sport mode it gets a little annoying.. I suppose if i drove only in Sport mode, Id be getting used to that too. Kind of ironic!
