Looking forward to hearing a 40i with Sports Exhaust which will hopefully have a real[ly] good sound.
Yep in the exhaust system So from the outside a 3.0TDI can sound like a petrol V8 My friends diesel A6 Avant has it, it’s very pronounced in sport mode.

You can get after market systems for the F15. On the BMW YouTube launch videos I think they suggest the X5 is the first in their range to have it....

I hope this is true, I can’t wait to find out.
This is'nt true. The sound of the M50d is really better than the sound of the 30d with m-performance exhaust.

I should imagine if the sound isn’t the same it can be coded to be the same as BMW will have differentiated them. There won’t be any technical / design reason why the 50d sounds better than a 30d. The performance sounds are artificial in both

I cannot decide if this is brilliant or madness...

Still better than the fake exhaust housings you see on so many cars today. Was behind a C63s yesterday and even that seemed to have 2 fake outlets. Worst offender is the SQ5 though.

Hi guys, have to bring up that post again due to a Question. I expect my 30d within the next weeks (will pick it up 10.04. in Munich BMW World).

I got the following Picture showing a X5 30d....cant believe that, would expect it is a 50d as it Shows the exhaust Sound Aktuator....i have the 30d with the m-Sport exhaust, but my dealer told me that there is no Sound Aktuator (accustic Sound), this is only coming with the 50d...can anybody confirm that or may confirm that the 30d has as well the Sound Aktuator like seen in the Picture...

Thanks a lot….

Yes there is the same thing on the 30d with sports exhaust option.
I have it.
I'm expecting there will be a way to code it in.
Looks exactly the same as 50d (assuming that pic is from an 50d).

Bumping this, I pick up my 30d next week and would love to know if any further thoughts on this?

Sorry to bump an older thread.

My 30D MSport Plus has gone in this week for some work and I've been given a 50D.

Now I know the sound is all coming from the actuator on both of these models, but the sound is significantly louder in the 50D.

Does anyone know if there's a way to code an increase in sound or tone from the actuator on the 30D?

Thanks

Sorry to say, but that’s just plain wrong.

The image from a post above proves that it does have one, plus I’ve seen it on my own vehicle.

Ok, just because I don’t like being wrong, I popped out and got under the car (in the pitch black ha ha)...

Here’s what’s there;





Looking at the manufacturer they use this active silencer to reduce the number of mufflers required, and produce an engine noise if required.

Therefore I can’t see why the sound produced that is different between the 30D and 50D can’t be achieved through coding....?!

Thanks
David

Right, so I've done my research, and as I already have the active sound unit under the car from having the M-Sport Plus 30D, I can purchase the add-on kit for the 50D that the below company is selling;

https://www.active-sound.eu/en/bmw/x...ive-sound-unit

Basically it gives you full app control over the active sound unit, over and above the default sounds that are produced by the sound unit from BMW, you can even specify the number of pops and mis-fires, plus the startup tone of the car.



I'll let you know what it's like once I've got my car back and fitted!

I just don’t see the point in messing with the sound on the diesels. You can make them slightly better but it’s a diesel at the end of the day.
