Clar,
Thx for testing this! Who knew pumping exhaust into the cabin would be so controversial? (just trying to start a rumor... ) Everyone, This is a great demonstration of how much people value choice. If no one knew about AS, we wouldn't have all these threads (because no one would notice. ) and if it were defeatable there would be no outrage. Just shut it off. Ranters, Rant on!

I've brought this up on many YouTube videos (including the popular Autobahn clip: ). The sound you're hearing is a reproduction of a slighly-V10ish engine note. There is nothing V8 about it. Bring up some videos of V10 RS6 acceleration runs, and you'll hear what I mean. I'm a hardcore BMW fan, and M cars have been my dream cars since I was a little boy. This, though, really doesn't sit well with me. |

The reason for the multilayered sound (why F10 M5 sounds unlike most V8s) is due to the cross-bank manifold and exhaust layout. As Clar concluded, turn off the Active Sound & with the windows/sunroof closed, you'll just hear a muted version of what you go with Active Sound. |

Can AS be coded out?
I can't imagine why they wouldn't make this a feature in which the driver could enable/disable..???????

ASD disabled in M5
Hi folks
Finally I was able to disable ASD by just unplugging the ASD connector cable from the ASD Sound Module. It takes about One hour and there are no impacts/errors. I have a Hamann exhaust installed and ist sounds really great. Hence I dont need any fake sound in the cabin. It's way too loud with ASD For details let me know. Greetz |

Plenty of manufacturers doing active sound, not just BMW and not the only thing that will be fun to live with on out of warranty cars... |

Although I've got a 2015 STi on order and instead of amplifying the engine note, they use a sound tube (or something similar) to direct the direct noise in to the cabin, instead of synthesizing whatever engine frequencies are deemed beneficial. I'm not OK with ASD, but I'm more OK with redirected notes… |

Turn down the back seat. You have to remove the covers on the floor (the big one) and the left one. You also have to lift the rubber seal a little beat so that you can remove the backplane. Almost everything is fixed with press buttons which you can remove safely. Finally you can use them again to put everything together. After you remove the left cover you have access to the ASD module. Just unplug the connector and fix it with a cable strap. We're currently working on a switch/button to enable/disable ASD from the rear trunk ASD with the original exhust is fine. But with the Hamann it's that loud that it isn't fun anymore! However I think BMW should make this feature configurable in the iDRIVE. |

I too have just had my Active Sound Module disconnected by the stereo shop which is just completing an over-the-top sound system for me (i.e. I wasn't 100% satisfied with the B&O I ordered). Secondarily, with my M Performance (Akrapovic) exhaust, I thought it wise for both these reasons to do away with Active Exhaust Sound, etc.

So I have the Competition package and it's supposed to have a "sport exhaust system."
Does this mean I have different exhaust or a different MP3? It would be an expensive MP3.... -Dave |

Maybe...in the ASD module under configuration there are files named Bahruie, motor, competition paket, etc. Under comp paket the choices are nein and ja. I haven't changed the setting but am curious about what effect this 'ja' selection would have on my sound. I have it set to nein by default.

I wonder if the steering and suspension upgrade for the Competition package are also just a software settings as well? Given that the competition package cost $7300, that's a lot of money to pay for basically a coding session. I guess the car sits lower than standard so something must be different mechanically. I suspect that there is no difference in the engine, just a marketing thing. The standard one was probably under-rated. But who knows... |
