Cabin noise MPPSK 340i

Hi everyone,

Found F30 340 has a greatly improved cabin noise level compared with my previous E92 335. My friends said standing outside, the 340 is as loud as 335. However I'm inside with window closed, can't really hear too much noise if rev below 3500. Enjoying this quiet cabin circumstance and HK system

back to topic, I have seen many videos regarding how MPPSK sounds like from exterior, but few videos has interior clips. I don't want it to be too loud inside, my 335 was getting really loud since installing PPK (stock exhaust), I want to avoid such noise level this time. So can I ask for any comments/videos on cabin noise of a MPPSK 340i under normal driving?

In Comfort mode it doesn't sound much different than stock. In Sport mode it is louder but not too much. You will get a bassy tone (slightly annoying) when in high gear in the 8 AT when the revs are between 1500-2000 RPM (highway speeds 60-80mph) in D, switching to comfort mode will make it quiet. The tone will change (higher pitch and less loud) if you push the stick to M/S in sport mode as the RPMs are above 2K and the transmission in 7th gear.

MPPSK is not as loud as other after market exhausts. I pretty much have to roll the windows down to fully hear it even in Sport mode with the valves open.

Having said the bassy tone, my E92 335 had that tone after PPK installation. Same rev range from 1800 to 2500. It`s very loud actually...

Because the universe really wants to see how creative you can get explaining what "Cajun" noise is in your bimmer

I love a bit of spicy food, so disappointed Eric!

You should hear some of the noises (and smell some of the smells) in the cabin after I've had it though!!!!

Came in here looking to find a Louisiana style exhaust note, and was disappointed to find that the OP did not deliver.

I can't take the sound of zydeco myself, I'd rather listen to fingernails on a blackboard.
