hi Carneylad, I bought an M50d in New Zealand in May 2020 and I have a noise issue on mine and wanted to see if you had the same on yours. hi Kripad, did you buy the 30d or the 50d?
There's a noise (my kids call it Darth Vader, it's a low noise feeling like it's an empty tank) at around 1.700/2.000 RPM at low speed under a little bit of load around 30/45 kph, when you re-accelerate that really bothers me. I went back to the dealer in Auckland (now have been back 3 times because it's getting worse) and they initially thought it was not a good noise but then we tested the 3 other M50d they had and they were all doing the same noise. So now they think it's a "characteristic" noise for all the M50d...which I seriously doubt but maybe...? Apparently it's linked to the butterfly flap in the exhaust that controls maybe the NOx emissions... it's just not a nice tin sound in what is otherwise a great machine. Do you have anything similar on yours? |

When I was buying my X5 I was trying to also work out how loud the M Sports exhaust is.
I can unequivocally say that the M Sports Exhaust sounds amazing. It only opens up the exhaust note while in sports mode. When you in comfort and you accelerate it’s tame. Put it in Sports mode and you will hear a nice growl and you know the exhaust is meatier. |

Not a deal breaker either way. It can always be changed down the road if it's not.
