Thus with far too little good interior acoustic feedback they decided to pipe it in using the stereo.
I can't deny the very pragmatic German engineering approach but this is really pushing the limit toward absurdity in my opinion.
For those of you shaking your heads in disbelief, this is 100% true. No sarcasm or jokes here.
Look, don't call me a basher, hater, etc. I love BMW M and have owned many. I'd probably even have the M5 near the top of my list if I wanted to sheel out that kind of green. I simply have some legitimate gripes with some of their product direction. |
Active sound is no simulation or faking. It's merely PIPING in the natural sound that's all.
