Nice, I’ll try that.

What’s up with the brutal shifting ? I am getting thrown around certain shifts hah. I have 30 miles until my reduced power is done.

Wish they put a louder exhaust on this car… is the sound fake ? I’ve never heard my car from the outside.

I wish also. I have some time and may try to make valves stay open. It is partially piped sound.

Isn’t that what the button just above autohold does? I can def hear a difference in exhaust volume when that’s turned on.

The button opens valves more but they are not completely open in all driving situations….

It doesn’t? In what scenarios wouldn’t the valves be open?

Idle, highway cruising, or situations with a lower throttle threshold. If it could sound like a cold start all the time before valves close I think that would be perfect exhaust for this XM.

Do you guys feel like you can hear air coming in from the windows ? Either getting my windows tinted caused an issue and they didn’t seal it properly, or it’s just loud. Sounds like it’s not perfectly sealed .

It's normal it's the design of the M mirrors unfortunately.

Ahh that makes sense. I don’t remember my M8 being this loud but maybe the mirrors aren’t like this.

Did you notice a difference after the 300 miles were up? I didn’t notice much after the reduced power went away.

From an Areo point the XM is a brick..all recent M's I've driven do it to various degrees
