    I saw this option pop up after an update on Saturday morning and did it immediately.  I, of course, went for the aggressive setting right away like it sounds you did as well.  I hated it!  My car sounded like it was broken!  I turned it down and I am happy with it.  It's fun to get the little gurgles on decel but the popping noise drove me nuts.

      Haha that's nuts, can you turn it on and off whenever you want? Definitely a fun one to have in your pocket, wouldn't want that much every day though.

      one of the most offensives sounds to my ears that I have ever heard in terms of cars. Turn that shit off. Now.

      I don't understand why "snap-crackle-pop" is becoming an actual thing in the community. i saw this stupid shit coming from a new M2 exhaust kit and everyone was like "omg siiiiiiiick this sounds better than e92 m3 omg inline-6 turbo motors 4 lyf brooo our cars sound cool too!!!!" 

      No. Shut the fuck up stupid shitfucks this sounds like a toy cap gun I played with at the age of 6. It does not sound like a serious car. 

      My only logical conclusion that I've been able to come to is that because manufacturers are no longer V8'ing All The Things, this is all that people in the enthusiast community have to cling to for sound in an age where cars have recorded engine sounds coming through speakers. 

      Personally, I love the sound of an exhaust with a few crackles and pops, its a much more raw sound. Many engines do it naturally, even when they're completely stock, you typically just can't hear it because the exhausts are designed to tune it out/suppress it. My e36 barely made a sound before I put the catback on, but now it goes all rice-krispies when you let off the throttle at lower RPM's and I didn't change anything else.

        I miss my e36 noises.  The n54 sounds boring.

          I set mine to medium for 1 second, it's not too long and not too annoying. If I let off above 3.5k, it'll usually pop really loud once then it sounds like a normal decel. Sure, it's a bit artificial but sometimes it’s fun to be a shitfuck and scare people next to you.

            I'll probably tone it down eventually. Right now I'm enjoying my new ricer mod.

            I like pops and gurgles in an exhaust. This is a little much, I will admit. But it's pretty hilarious going between buildings and sounding like an assault rifle. It gets even louder than shown in this video once the car is hot.

                          Hahaha this whole pop thing actually started when somebody on e90 post wanted their n54 to pop like the n55 with the ppk. Then one of the tooners cranked it up to ricer level and made it sound like a popcorn maker.

                            my n55 has never been poppy but I have cpe exhaust.  The ricer level on what these kids are doing is definitely getting dialed up to super-duper now.

                              In my opinion, this is as bad as the "cowboy butt sex fender flares" Jordan mentioned in another thread.

                                        Which map? I'm using JB4 with a BMS E85 MHD backend flash.

                                          A local guy wanted to race. His car is all done up with upgraded turbos, fueling, etc. It should be capable of 600+whp.

                                          ...he was pissed.
