M235i - fruitier exhaust?

[Ken Figenus]

Haven't even picked it up yet LOL, but the engine is such a peach and sounds great - if a snidge quiet.

I note its fruitier in the 'sport' mode but tends to hang on to (auto) gears a bit longer then which can be unwanted. Can anyone please let me know what it does to the sound in 'sport' mode - I don't believe it actually has exhaust system valves like my other car (which are probably seized open due to inactivity)! Pls tell me the sound isnt piped in on the speakers?!

Whatever, its a superb engine so the missus wants to hear more of it as its such an enjoyable part of the car. Bless her

Getting the same Sunday You enjoying the car?

Seems like I've crossed an ethical line if it is indeed piped in - mind you its the missus' car (but she really likes an inspiring exhaust tune).

Thanks Graham - is this a BMW part (thinking warranty...)

Look for the exhaust golf T mod which keeps the flap in the RHS exhaist open permanently. Makes it sound much louder all the time instead of just at WOT or in sport mode.

She's home! What a little cracker - if not the 50mph roads that seem to plague Dorset! NSL does not apply.

Handover salesman was a proper car guy unlike many knowledge lacking shiny showroom slickers. Confirmed there is an exhaust valve and he said that there are no speaker shenannigans, but that even the Golf Tee mod still isnt enough for the afflicted. He said that a £500 M Sport back box aftermarket option releases the music... This was petrolhead talking not sales...I think

Anyone done?
