In comfort/eco pro, thanks to the silencing of the car it is very quiet inside and for me it is an ideal solution for traveling the highway at higher speeds.

In the Sport options the exhaust becomes much more laud and has a very nice bass sound even from the lowest engine speeds. For my wife it is even to laud on highway at speeds above 130km/h.

However, this is not a sound like in the X3 M40i - it is calmer and less aggressive - no pops. Probably because of the higher class of the car - more mature, less aggressive.

I also heard from a BMW dealer that the current X3 M40i for Europe also has no pops. This is due to the emission restrictions and the GPF filter.
That sucks.... I had hoped for a similar sound to what the X3 M40i has...
