Wish you had a V8? or maybe a V10? There's an app for that...

At least your car can now sound like it. I've been wondering why no one has done this yet on iOS or Android.

Does it actually know what gear you are in? And react to the accelerator?

This seems cool, but I honestly LOVE the sound of my 335is. It already sounds like the app... and nothing beats that turbo 'burble.' The 335is exhaust is like a slightly tame Nissan GT-R imo

Yea I doubt you'd enjoy it much. I love the 335is exhaust note.

I'm not sure how the gear changes work. I downloaded the app for fun, but haven't tried it. Looks like it just shifts on it's own depending on your speed. I know it uses the accelerometer, but the description says it needs GPS as well so I'm assuming it adjusts based on your speed as well.

I couldn't imagine someone in a Prius having that sound with their windows rolled down

Agreed, this thing would sound terrible if it makes WOT noises the whole time lol. Imo your 335is sounds better than a stock GTR. That thing has a terrible exhaust note from the factory.

For some reason I agree with this.
