[QUOTE=avi66;31320275]Why do you think the G01 M40 got quieter ?




I don’t see why the LCI addition of the 48v mild hybrid, means that they had to code out the overrun when downshifting or upshifting from an environmental standpoint. You can have a stock catalytic converter that is within the legal parameters AND give us pops and bangs. The pre LCI models showed that. I did hear some real crackles when they revved the 2025 so we will see.

I guess it’s a preference thing. I even turn off the artificial engine sound ASD because it gets old real quick in an SUV.

Maybe I missed it, but what’s the verdict on the new G45’s in the USA having acoustical glass? I know there was some talk or suspicions about it, but nothing definite. Any definitive answer? And then does it include the front window and/or side windows?

Still a mystery. The closest thing to a "good idea" would be the measurements from the CarConfection guys in their review of the G45.

(fast forward to the 26:30 mark)

Does launch control work in the same way on the G45 ?

A glowing review from Savagegeese:

I know there’s been some talk about 0-60 times for the M50 G45, but I haven’t seen any actual 0-60 times for the 30 G45, which has 7 additional horsepower than the previous gen G01. Up until now, I’ve read that it should “be about the same” as the former gen, which was about 6 secs. Now that the model has been out for a while, I figured some auto reviewer would have verified that. Has anybody seen actual 0-60 times for the X3 30 G45?

Definitely gone.
Driven one without it.
Also, polish BMW dealer confirmed NO acoustic glass on Youtube - they claim the glass is now thicker so 'sound insulating'. Yet another marketing BS.

Yeah if the UK doesn't get it, we Yanks definitely not getting acoustic glass!
