The More Miles The Louder The M3

I've noticed that my M3 is getting louder and also the car seems to stay in gear longer. Yesterday I had the car in efficient, comfort and sport steering and the car wouldn't change gears for a while and was loud , I think maybe too loud. Anybody else? I have 2500 miles now. It wasn't a bad sound and the gears not changing caught me by surprise since I was in efficient mode.

Not sure about it getting louder, although you may be driving it more aggressive after break-in.

On another note, not sure how you got it loud with efficient. I know right away if I haven't touched the M1 button after pulling away, because its too damn quiet!

+1. I leave it in sport/sport/D2...still get 24 mpg and have that more robust sound like you stated.
