This is something people actively want? Maybe if you drive a Civic, but I find them to be incredibly annoying.

I think folks are wanting the factory burbles like the M5 and M8 Comp had before they neutered them in 2019 due to some regulations. I don't think most want the aggressiveness of the gunshot sound of pops and bangs.

Let's see if you can help. On my wife's M, the exhaust sounds normal when it first starts. But when you press the M2 button on the steering wheel, all of a sudden those dumb burbles start coming from the exhaust.

Is there a way I can turn off the burbles when in M2 mode? Car sounds like it's owned by a 21-year old otherwise.

Go into the M setup and change the M2 button presets so the engine is not set to Sport Plus. I don't think you get that in Sport but you could assure you don't get it in efficient. This can all be done from iDrive Car > M Menu > Configure M2. Then you just pick the presets that suit your style.

You press the Exhaust valve button, that will dumb it down.
At least it does when I tried it.

I had this done to my f95 but had to revert because of a charging system error that would not clear. Also I did notice the engine would idle at 1k. Shifting from park to reverse or drive was not pleasant.

I personally did not revert, bimmerworks romania did it remotely. I do not know what they changed. I will say the vehicle did sound like a proper M car. It was not obnoxious.

I would be elated if anyone who had this done by the maximking would come forward to talk about their experience. I have personally not heard of too many success stories. Meaning that maximking had to revert back to the original programming due to false errors being generated in the infotainment system. Considering maximking does have a post for this service for sale on the forum, I think it would be good to isolate it as being a mod that is reliable. Thanks.

I did mine too in F95 since I am full downpipes etc it sounded amazing but I had that charging error in iDrive so he had to revert everything to stock like before.

I would do again if I have no errors.

It seems to me thus far this "MOD" is a NO-GO? More experiences are welcome. I am trying to collect as much data on this as possible. Thanks.

He just reverts changes as in stock so car is same again.

Shifting not nice because RPM in neutral stay in 1000 RPM ( problem is to resolve charging system error - rpm can be adjusted and work usually as normal )

Would be nice if someone that has done this to their car and still has it enabled would backup NCD and SVT using BimmerUtility or E-Sys so others can figure out what is changed and possibly fix the issues or very least understand why the need to revert.

Not sure if you need help doing that. Assuming if you paid to have it done, you already have a Windows laptop and ethernet cable available. If you don't already have E-Sys software loaded, I can send you a link to the software and tell you how to grab what is needed. Let me know.

Without professional help and deep insides from BMW, it will not work.

Maybe we can get a connection to a BMW engineer?
