More prominent turbo sounds in the M240i vs M340i?
I have a 2023 M340i, and recently drove a 2023 M240i for a few days.
One thing that stood out to me was the turbo spool was audible in the 240, but I never noticed it in the 340. In general the engine bay seems less insulated in the 240. Has anyone else noticed this? |

Did both cars have that under hood insulation?
With VW GTI some gens came with and some came without. Removing the insulation certainly did make the turbo noises much more audible. |

I'm pretty sure both have the insulation, since the M240i is a dealer loaner. I'll have to double check just in case.

Add a Dinan intake and you’ll hear a lot more turbo.
