M2 and M4 both indeed feature the 'Artificial Suckers Device'.

For a Turbo car, the M2 sounds good. It'll never howl like an S65, sadly those days are gone.
Early Sunday mornings drives can be fun in cities. I've had fun in Portland at 5am on a Sunday. Nice tour of London there, better than my double decker tour way back. |

But at least it is no big deal to disable it...
Thanks for posting the Paris video. It shows again: These days the cars lack on personality. There is nothing going over NA engines, fake burples and crackels never come close to that... |

Benz 450SEL 6.9 but with his 275GTB sound over it, so a tad artificial as well
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C'%C3%...un_rendez-vous So you see the speed of a big fat 6.9 V8 limousine and hear a V12.... Cheers Robin |

Amazing how he was moving through the streets regardless.

He was driving a Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9. Don't be fooled, the soundtrack was dubbed with that of a Ferrari 275GTB. Film was releasedin 1976.

Low end grunt is as sexy as any car can be. However, nothing special when needle passes 3500~4000.
Even M2 needs aftermarket solution.

Sounds better than my F80 with MPE. Would love to go with an M2 at lease end, but my 2015 F80 is actually a better deal to buy off of lease than leasing a new M2. M2 is probably fun around town, but the F80 is just way more car for not much higher of a lease payment. Shame BMW did not offer the M3 seats and full leather option for those who want to elevate the car luxury-wise.

As much as I love turbo torque, this is the sort of thing that reminds me that IMO naturally aspirated is king when it comes to the whole experience. Yes I know the sound is dubbed, but it is still the real noise of an NA motor.

Clicking in a thread that says M2 on the streets of London in 2-3 seconds then posting the video would have been better on a track for 2 seconds. The best of all was the ranting about ASD when the mic is on the outside of the car the entire video .... |

What the M2's ASD sounds like in comparison (w/ mic *inside* the car). Skip to 3:10 on this video to hear the cabin's artificial drone:

I cannot see the videos Artemis posted, so I give it a try, 250 Breadvan at OGP Nürburgring . Luckily I found this vid again. It shows a lot, not only the sound:0
All black???? Cheers Robin |

As an N55 owner (the engine of the M2), it could sound better--immensely better if I'm being honest. The stock M2 exhaust isn't really doing it justice.
