No burble on 540xi
Hey guys, so I just bought a 2021 540xi and I also have a 2021 x7 4.0 m sport (for reference). In my x7, when I put it in sport plus mode, I get a little burble when I shift and downshift, but I do not get the same sound in sport plus in my 540. Any idea as to why since they are I think the same engines ? Thanks

Following though for the unmodified 540 crowd to weigh in.

The car is usually relatively quiet unless you really open it up. I did a blast to 255 from about 50ish a few days ago on the A1 here and the sound was quite nice. |

I've permanently opened the valve on the exhaust, sounds a little better but no real burbles, seeing as it's a straight 6 not a V8 you're never going to get real burbles..

My wife has a 2018 540I . She was with me yesterday in my Jaguar XK 5.0 coupe I took off pretty quickly to merge into traffic and got the V8 roar with some snap, crackle and pop when shifting .
First words out of her mouth were I wish my car sounded like that ! |
