By the way I love SO on M3! That doesn't mean thumbs down to Sulverstone which looks great. Just think SO is striking so I would thumbs up an SO M3. |

if you google 'deactivate ASD' or something like that there is a tutorial to remove your trunk liner and disconnect the amp for ASD. I called my local dealer in Chicago and they told me no chance will they touch anything regarding coding [sounds like either you have to go through a performance shop or know someone who will do it, or live in Europe]. it was pretty easy, took me less than an hour start to finish. I prefer the sound without, can actually hear turbo spool [I grew up in the high rev turbo Japanese tuner days] so for me I like the sound vs something incredibly throaty. personal preference. but there is a noticeable sound difference.

New GTIs have them. It's still noise being piped in, which shouldn't be.

No no no nonononono. Inventing a soundtrack is nothing whatsoever like bringing the actual engine sounds into the interior. The I8 makes noises like a V8 through the speakers even though there ain't no V8 anywhere near the car.

^^ engine noise DOES have a place in the cabin of a sports car, particularly the induction noise, that's why they make the effort
The Z's literally have a hole in the firewall, with a sound tube going from the intake to the cabin. You hear and feel everything like it's next to you. It's not the same as a recording through speakers, not unlike live music vs well... a recording |

It's like having sex with a supermodel while wearing headphones and listening to a pre-recorded track of her moaning.
Yes, Active Sound is as stupid as that example above. |

Because I have owned and heard home systems that are like listening live. Quote:
On the other hand, if you've heard most supermodels speak.. the headphones may be better utilized by listening to music.
