F8x M3/4 - anyone pulled the hifi fuse out, ye?

[Tony B2]

Wondering what the un-synthesized engine noise is like, as the standard car was giving me a headache after a couple of hours on the Ring.

If you pull the hifi fuse you get the real engine noise.

M235i sounded much nicer, and that is synthesized too, so wonder why they have made such a poor job on the "proper" M car

That is not what was said to me by a BMW engineer that I spoke with last month. Fully synthesized according to him. Can anyone find a microphone?

It isn't synthesized in the M4, there is a mic under the bonnet that feeds the sound into tha cabin through the speakers. So, yes it hasn't come form the engine direct to your ears, but it isn't a fake noise. It's the genuine article.

Whether you are correct (or someone who worked on the development of the car is correct) is not the point.
Find a microphone and I might believe you are correct.

I am interested to know what it sounds like with zero enhancement, and this is simply achieved by pulling one fuse.

And I can say that there was a lot of debate/discussion on this at the 2 driver training sessions that I have attended.
