The F 10 is known for its quite ride.There might be ways to increase the exhaust note but I think you might have to do some crazy stuff to hear the turbo whine in a luxury car.I don't have a F10 but you should have looked into a m5 ,it would have been nice if BMW had awd option on the M5.

Are you referring to the type of sounds a BOV translates the tone of a turbo into? Or rich turbo spool?

Purchase a downpipe + meisterschaft if you insist on heavy boom .

You can install intake. That will help you hear the turbos spin up a little. The blow off valve will produce some more noise. Exhaust will help with loudness

You can't (or shouldn't at least haha), just a joke. I'm equipped with an AR design catted downpipe and the turbo spool is very rich in sound.

Probably best option atm to open up the voice of your turbos.
