I mean if its coming from the speaker area, I would say no. The only time I can hear the turbo or the blow off valve is when my driver window is down and the car is in low gear and when you get on it a little .

Nope... I did a test all my windows closed no AC on and i put it to the lowest and drove and it was still loud but then putting it up all the way you do hear theres a difference, BMW tuned it so you could never know but i guess you have a fantastic ear

From an article: Many of today's modern BMW's contain an adjustment within the radio that allows the user to adjust the speed sensitive volume of the audio system.
Here's what that means: As the vehicle RPM's increase, the radio automatically does two things: Increases the volume of the radio Decreases the low-end frequency response in order to minimize distortion at higher volumes This is done by BMW to preserve the audio system and to minimize the likelihood that a speaker will become damaged or an amplifier channel will go bad. But, since you're a responsible, BSW listener now, this isn't going to be an issue in your BMW. So, to learn how you turn the speed sensitive volume essentially "off" in your BMW, see the attached BMW file. You're going to enter the radio service mode, and scroll through the options until you see "speed volume". Adjust this to "1". This is the minimal setting and ensures that the least amount of equalization will occur to your music. But i know fo sure it has sort of a synthetic add in rev! |
