Hi

I've just found out that the 3.0l version of the Z4 has a sound generator fitted.

I have also seen some people take out the 2 foam bungs to alter the sound, but does anyone know if this causes any problems or reduces performance at all?

also how easy is it to remove them?

cheers

bugger.. thats where i've been going wrong all these years! smile

This is in addition to the engine and is really quite anal but goes to show how much research and development BMW put in!

I've heard a sound clip of it with the foam removed and it sounds much louder and raspier but want to hear with my own ears rather than ely on a video clip

How many pieces are there? i'm led to believe only 2?

how easy is it to get to the foam to remove it?

thanks

Andy
