If fake engine noise that's easy to disable really completely turns you off of a brand then good riddance.
As you said that post was from 2013 and it was not easy to disable then so hope that give you some peace. It still is lame and now people have found ways to disable it without killing the radio. It is one of many traits that new BMWs have that are dishonest and lame. As you stated most BMW drivers don't care anymore so it's a dead issue. I am still with the brand but drive two BMWs now without fake sound. Actually neither has "comfort" mode or any other silliness, just proper engine sound and temp gauges the way some of us like our cars.
