lol @ what BMW M has become

[reelizmpro]

Yep, that's where we're headed. Downloadable MP3 engine sounds. Add a sub for even more exhaust note.

That is so lame!

this sounds upon right for the downward spiral of enthusiast cars from bmw.

No word if it will also sync with the engine if and when it breaks down.

'honey, i think we need to take the M5 in, the stereo is making a knocking sound.'

[Philipangoo]

nothing new here. it's a system used on Mini Cooper Diesels, and on other BMW models currently.

They call it "Active Sound Design"

Kind of disappointing that its found on the Sports Luxury Sedan like the M5, but I can't say that I am surprised.

Because I can't afford something means I don't have the right to place a label on it...

I now see the new M cars as worse than the GTR in terms of being overly technology relient and marketed for poseurs that only care about statistics instead of real driving enthusiasts.

Fuck everything about this.
