Apparently less obnoxious firecracker noises on the CS. I'm looking forward to this if true. I'll know soon and report back.
From the couple of reviews I saw so far, the CS does not have that obnoxiously loud pop and burbles, of which BMW had seem to turn up the volume to 11 on, within the last couple of years. Seems that the CS has even less of that cacophony, even more so than the current Competition model.

I assume this because of the new Euro noise ordinance, for the newer model years, that has trickled down to all current vehicles. However, I believe, Australia, where you reside, vehicles doesn't come with an OPF. So you'll get the unbridled exhaust..

I welcome the scale back on overrun bubbles fad but I get why some that crave attention might be disappointed by this but honestly, it wasn't doing you any favors; trust me, the average person observing your car drive by is not charmed by you new Bimmer sounding like a old misfiring carburetor engine.

Anyways, you lucky dog - I'm looking forward to your CS review..
