I’m hopeful that it’s something that either kicks in through natural wear, or is something that is applied intentionally after that first service. It was such a great thing to hear, and it’s bad enough that BMW have had to reduce so much of its external noise. When it revs though, it sounds sweet.

Curious regarding your remapping, does that not void warranty? I presume from your profile that you have an 850 too? 791 bhp really?
The noise wont just magically return unfortunately, but software can bring it back. Bear in mind also, that the sound you hear in the car is not necessarily what is heard outside (due to the fake noise thing BMW use).

The remap would invalidate the warranty if BMW find it, but I've mapped around 150 cars (BMW, MB, AMG, Audi etc) and never had an issue.

And yes, 729bhp from my M850i - purely from software.
