Maybe the 50i is the exception, I wish they were all that way. Here are a few bits about fake sound...a...a..I mean Active Sound. I wonder what Inactive Sound would sound like? Anyway, its a sad world anymore.

Its called Active Sound.. ..

But the one I spoke of earlier was actually an X3 M40i, I just didn’t remember where I had seen it but have now found it….in this thread, TX3M has posted pix on a few ways to defeat the fake sound.. .. https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showt...e+Sound&page=5

M5 has it. .. https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/b...-using-stereo/

and JayPichardo says the X5 has it .. . though he didn't say which model, my guess is its the 40i. .. .. https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1547852
