Are you serious? Auto journalists FREQUENTLY don't know the car they are driving from a cup of coffee. They often spout off incorrect facts and specifications. On top of that, most reviewers I've seen (particularly the American magazines) are absolutely awful drivers.
With that said, Autocar is one of my favorites and I respect Sutcliffe and consider him among the best so if we're talking about him in particular, I do think he would have taken the time to find out what options and features the car he was driving had.
Active sound aside, and I'm sure it can be turned off anyways, I'm really glad he liked it. The M5 is almost a perfect car if you ask me.
