Real Talk M8 Vert
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Any other convertible owners feel the same way as I??? I will never under estimate BMW engineering to produce a silent convertible this thing makes my old Merc E class sound like a freight train on the inside. Alright rant over...

All the current BMWs seem to use the same material, though.

Idk understand the fascination with noise... I've a92 dyna glide leaking in the garage never to be ridden again because I hate the straight pipes on it...
Guess I'm aging and enjoy feeling power more than hearing it... |

Oh yeah, I hear you! Top up and in comfort mode, my vert is so quiet.
But top down, sports mode, and going through a tunnel....the sound is amazing! In fact, I rarely have the B&W system on when driving around with the top down - the exhaust noise is music to me. Only problem - my wife dislikes the sports mode exhaust burbles and sound level...but I found a way to fix that. I leave her at home most times! |

Well there is a huge difference in straight pipping to a quality exhaust note..... For me I like to hear the engine it is how I connect and know when to shift etc... To me its also apart of the soul of a vehicle is the sound it makes is very unique from one ride to another. I don't think its age I think its how you make the sound makes the difference.

Haartz shows the same Sonnenland for my Z4 but the article I linked speaks to different details. I've realized music inside my car is almost as loud outside (top up). Is the M8 like that too or is sound from inside better contained? |

No I would say about 25% of the volume indicator or less. I cannot hear a conversation sitting in the car without it running either. Sound is very subjective but normal conversation is about 60db...
