    I just submitted an improved cockpit sound for the 235i, louder with more grunt, and also more homogeneity in the rev progression. Hope you'll like it guys ;)

    If it passes testing without problems (which I assume it will) it will probably be included in the next patch.

    Last weekend i've been at the Nordschleife for the VLN. The BMW 235i is in reality much louder than in RaceRoom and has a pretty decent amount of low frequencies. I'm not talking about the cockpit sound but from a spectators point of view :) I was really astonished that for instance the Audi R8 LMS ultra was much more quite than the BMW. The loudest car was a Renault Clio :)

    Yes but the real gt3 sound is much louder than the vln gt3 sound.

    That's interesting indeed. I found in article about noise prevention on the Nürburgring and the Nordschleife. The maximum noise level on the Nordschleife is 130 dB(A). It's probably also valid for the Nürburgring GP track, in two weeks they host the Blancpain GT series.

    Well, none of the current GT3 is producing more than 130 dB, not even the Huracan (the only loud GT3 currently), so these cars can race on any track nowadays, even the french tracks (where noise restrictions are more severe than in any other country - but fortunately some track owners are allowed a few week end with no restrictions, mostly for historic events).

    About the 235i, I could see only the Duwo Team one in Paul Ricard, and it was extremely quiet, you can't even hear it accelerate on the external recordings, so I couldn't use them for the ext sounds ingame :p.
    But I noticed that some german 235i are a bit louder, hence why I made it a bit louder in R3E aswell.

    But let's watch the truth, the BMW is not a loud car, as most of the GT4 competitors, but it's the essence of this class. ;)

    Now, this is what I mean by loud car, and reaching easily over 130 dB :D:

    thats true, the two KTM were quite loud, nice sound. The BMW had quite a deep bass when passing by. Of course not as deep as the Mercedes AMG GT3.

    I'm ok with it :D And if you could implement such exhaust flames, I buy the car immediately :)

    Would like to see this car in R3E, but it's not even a BMW. It's the Australian MARC Cars, a tubular chassis with a Ford V8.
    Original it was the MARC Cars Mazda3 GTC, but the Belgian team Qvick Motors replaced the Mazda body by a BMW M2 body.

    So does it mean S3 is working on this car license? She's really mighty tuned like this, and this V8 aspirated sound, my god :eek: Raging and loud with no "fan" noise :D

    More I drive this car more I think it's my favorite one, not the most powerful but a great balance of several ingredients which make that the pleasure is here in every race :)

    "L'arsouille" as we said in french! :D

    The new cockpit sounds are great!

    It's being worked on. Of course the sounds have to be adapted to match the new range etc. so it took a little longer. But it's being fixed now and *should* be in the next update.

    As this car is for sure not the fastest in the game, it's definitely one of the best looking and most fun to drive/race, new sounds make it even more adorable.
