Loud Start When Cold
Is it me or is the start up of the F30 really loud when starting in the morning?
The initial "VROOM" at the beginning sounds like a freaking boat and is LOUD. I actually saw someone jump and look strangely at my car when it cranked up. Is that an issue with my car, or is it normal? |

I love cold starting in the morning! My neighbour was getting into his car, VROOOM and it made him jump and stop what he was doing!
Brilliant. Barely audible inside the car, but crack a window slightly and boy it's loud! Shows how well the cabin is refined. Just a shame it does quieten down. Tell you what, if you're pulling 3-4k whilst firmly accelerating, the exhaust note from the back is stunning! I need a GoPro with suction mount to show you guys! Well, Christmas is coming up...

Do you guys know if there is any way to keep that sound through out the day without changing the entire exhaust?!

I asked this question in a different thread ... but do you hear a "rattle" from the lest rear exhaust (drivers side) on the 335i when you start up? There's a damper/vent that closes the left exhaust on start-up and then opens after 15-20 seconds. Seems as though this damper makes a rattle when you first start. Do others hear this (you have to listen for it w/ the door open)?

The plug for the actuator is under the car next to the actuator. Also simply unplugging the actuator will leave the flap closed.

I have the Mperformance exhaust with a wired open flap. Over time the exhaust has become nice and loud. Im very pleased.
