I might be wrong but the downshifts sound more aggressive compared to the M3/M4.

Apologies if it was shared already!

This is brilliant, thanks mate.
Reckon this is still under embargo, but might have slipped out

you are not allowed to show it while driving either - which is why everything we have seen elsewhere has been outside the car without it being on / us hearing what it sounds like while driving.

Do you mean the piped in exhaust sounds great when you downshift?

Nope. I mean the aggressiveness of the actual downshift. Sound’s M4CSL-esque to me. That’s just my observation

We have seen several clips of it in motion in Arizona. I can instantly think of two, one ZB and one TR.

Exhaust sounds great! I'm seriously thinking about ordering one now.

Right away, I had my x3 repaired by a collision shop the is bmw certified, gives a certificate and everything, but part of that meant they coded the exhaust back on and blocked DVD's from playing while in motion. After getting it back I spent 2 weeks driving it around swearing they turned it back on (my obd link was in a car I didn't have access to) and it was so bad my wife had a migraine for a week that turned into a vertigo attack.

DO IT 😁

It does sound pretty good. Looks like they’ve added some crackles to the M2 again.

I had the same issue with my previous M2 once. After that I tell them to ask me anytime before they connect the computer.

Interesting!
Why do they still have it under camo though? Maybe it’s a comp 😂

Makes one think. Their NA HQ is located in NJ which is why you see camo'd test mules with NJ plates all the time.

hmmmm

It is still wrapped in camo because it is a total PITA to remove it. Eventually, the car, a pre-production mule will be dismantled and crushed. It is absolutely pointless to waste the time and effort removing the camo.

I think I remember you saying this about 2-3 months ago when someone saw a camo car and assumed it was comp since it was after the reveal.
