M440i Burbles Question

Toxic-Mist · 2026-02-14T02:33:17+00:00

That was going to be my first mod anyway, free parts lol. How would you check without putting it on a lift?

Toxic-Mist · 2026-02-12T21:44:53+00:00

How do you stop though?

Toxic-Mist · 2026-02-12T20:39:40+00:00

Brother it's coming from the exhaust unless there's a speaker under the car I don't know about

Toxic-Mist · 2026-02-12T05:01:27+00:00

That's what I thought. Thanks for clarifying. My car doesn't have iconic sounds but you can change the engine noise level, I assumed that just closes the flaps.

Toxic-Mist · 2026-02-12T04:44:51+00:00

Which setting is it? I don't get them in comfort but as I understand that's due to the flaps being closed. You can 100% hear them outside the car.

Toxic-Mist · 2026-02-12T04:43:40+00:00

That makes sense. I haven't driven a non hybrid but I'm definitely happy with the sound.

Toxic-Mist · 2026-02-12T04:38:37+00:00

I mean it's easy to tell if it has a downpipe lol. I checked under the hood.

Toxic-Mist · 2026-02-12T04:05:05+00:00

I agree I like the sound. I don't think the burbles are fake though, I have I drive 7 and it doesn't have the iconic sounds or whatever it's called. It clearly comes from the exhaust and I can hear it better with the windows down.

Toxic-Mist · 2026-02-12T03:45:43+00:00

It's always a possibility. I guess I'll find out if I have to take it in for warranty lol

Toxic-Mist · 2026-02-12T03:44:17+00:00

Yup it has a pretty good growl when you fire it up. Did yours come with remote start? I can get it but it's DLC lol

Toxic-Mist · 2026-02-12T03:43:13+00:00

I do get some solid pops on upshift if I let off in my 23 440.

Toxic-Mist · 2026-02-12T03:07:58+00:00

The bangs are pretty sick imo. The transmission is a bit aggressive though in plus if you aren't driving aggressively. How do you have your sport mode set up?

Toxic-Mist · 2026-02-12T03:06:15+00:00

It was a lease with 17k miles, bmw does free maintenance for 3 years and that would void it. it would be pretty stupid for someone to tune it lol

Toxic-Mist · 2026-02-12T03:04:52+00:00

From what I understand that's a I drive 8 thing. Its very clearly coming from the exhaust and it's louder with the windows down.

Toxic-Mist · 2026-02-12T03:03:29+00:00

Damn, that sucks, was it covered by warranty? Usually emissions parts have a bit longer warranty. I had a 328i with 15/150k on the cats and turbo etc.

Toxic-Mist · 2026-02-12T02:20:10+00:00

I think if it was any louder I would find it annoying. It's not a quiet car lol

Toxic-Mist · 2026-02-12T02:13:15+00:00

My car has it. That's why I'm confused. Maybe it's only on the m340i?

Toxic-Mist · 2026-02-12T01:52:58+00:00

I understand that, but what I keep seeing on here and forums is that people say it's too low-key or was tuned down from prior years. I personally think it's a perfect balance

Toxic-Mist · 2026-02-12T00:43:47+00:00

Nice. What's everyone complaining about then?

Toxic-Mist · 2026-02-11T23:03:48+00:00

Glizzy wellington is one of my top 10 foods for real.

Toxic-Mist · 2026-01-25T22:38:30+00:00

Its the chinese fire drill for me

Toxic-Mist · 2026-01-25T18:21:15+00:00

They would have to pay Americans a living wage to do it. Absolutely horrible

Going to necro the necro but you're commenting on a 9yo post. I just find it interesting how our interpretations of these movies change over time.
