Audi's new 4.0L V8 used in the S6, S7 and S8 has cylinder deactivation, where they run on 4 cylinders when under light load. They have to use active sound management and active engine dampers to quell unwanted vibrations and noise when operating on 4 cylinders.

I'll take BMWs valvetronic approach.
