engine note?

6th BMW · 09-30-2012, 05:40 PM

M6 on order - I just watched a review of MY 13 M5; said the engine sound comes out of the speakers. is this true of the MY 13 M6? if so, I wish I would have went with the B&O!

I will say with 99% certainty that I do not hear anything coming out of the speakers in my 2013 m6 vert.

thanks. I can't find anything on it, but don't know why it shows up on some M5 reviews and not M6...why BMW would have it in M5 (maybe?) and not M6.

I am certain that it IS in the M5, and not in the M6. I do not know why they would put in one and not the other. I do notice the exhaust note pretty clearly in mine without it coming through the speakers. Maybe because the M5 is a sedan and it is more difficult to hear the exhaust from the front seats, they thought it a good idea to have it pipe through the speakers.

There are other threads that confirm the M6 doesn't have this problem.
