Am I just nuts, or is this a reasonable question? If you buy and aftermarket exhaust, and don't shut off the 'Active Sound', you're still hearing piped-in mp3 sound through the car stereo system. Won't you be hearing two different exhaust sounds in the same car? Nobody has said anything about how you can turn this off.

Or do you just say "What the heck, the combo sounds great so we don't care." Crazy.
Once we have the F10 M5 in our hands here at IND we are going to remove the Active sound by removing it from the vehicle order.
