BMW should give more options like Renault did many years ago if we go down that road..

Looks like the best the car gets is a “reduced” mode. No full on “off”

That said, it’s the 2 gran coupe, so I don’t care that much if the first version of this is flawed. Hopefully future implementations will offer a fully off mode for the sportier cars in bmws lineup.

Just code it off.

I sure hope BMW rolls this out to other models. I'd love to hear the natural sound of the B58 in my M340i.

Absolutely hate this feature. Especially with the 4-cylinder models BMW loves to pipe in excessive amounts of fake engine noise. The 6 and 8-cylinder cars aren't as bad, but they aren't pleasing to the ear either. An off mode like Toyota or Hyundai would be preferable.

Its pretty easy to just code this off.

I hated it in my F80. Sounded so artificial and fake. Coded it off and liked the car again.

Yep, in the new M5 I drove it is awful, especially compared to AMG.
