Yes I had one on extended drive mate when ordering my M50i as they didn't have the V8 in at the dealer.

It's a lovely car. I think it's the best diesel on UK roads and I loved it which is why I placed my order. Sounds great for a diesel but a lot of it is synthetic sound via speakers. It's a diesel at the end of the day so pretty pointless throwing money at pricey exhausts trying to make it sound like a petrol.

i totally agree, sports exhausts actually make them sound worse imho, but this is regarding 'active sound' and switching to M50d mode from 30d

Did you manage to find a solution? Yessss, it would be great to listen “sport sound” in comfort mode 😉

I think you can set this under Individual mode. I personaly don't like it. Normal sound is sporty and sexy enough, at least on M50d. When i hit sport, I can hear the note is the same but only volume increases. And this fake volume increase is unfortunately too noticable, like you would literally play it on your radio

Partly yes, partly no ... yes, you can configure "Sport Individual" for example Damping: Comfort, Steering: Comfort, Engine: Sport, Transmission: Comfort ... this way I do believe you get a "Sport sound" ... but at the same time, I would like to hear it without selecting the mode every time I start the engine

Personally I like it a lot ... at the end of the day, car has 400 HP, but I agree with you ... normal sound is sporty and sexy as well, much more compared to M50d installed in F15 ...
