F10 550I Active Sound

Gonnells · 12-22-2014, 02:42 PM

I just got a 2015 550I and although the vehicle is not intended to be sporty as the M5, for a V8 it is very quiet. Someone even asked me if it was a hybrid because he could hear the engine inside the car.

Could the Active Sound that is used on the M5's be somehow activated?

To enable this feature, the Control unit ASD needs to be installed and programmed: http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?...=65&fg=25&hl=7 Only the particular models are factory made with that thing: http://realoem.com/bmw/partxref.do?p...=on&showeur=on
Many people believe this is a stupid cheat, and there are much better and true method how to improve the sound together with car performance: sport catted or catless downpipe and a good aftermarket exhaust.

Are you able to get the ASD on a 535?

I've read/heard taking the "blanket" off under the hood helps get more sound from the engine, but not sure if that's true or not...
