The M sound button does run through the speakers like you mentioned but it also controls the exhaust flaps. So yes I am talking about the way the exhaust is handled through the M sound button. If it’s closed the exhaust doesn’t breath freely and I was wondering if that affected the horsepower since it is closing the exhaust flaps when you turn it off. Usually more flow more power.
Best idea to code off ASD completely using Bimmercode, then use the sound control button just for the natural sounds.

I think I understand the confusion now. You asked about ASD off, I assumed you were talking about coding it off as that is the only way to JUST turn ASD off. You were actually talking about the sound control button button which also changes flap behavior.

So, to rephrase your question….does closing the exhaust flaps reduce HP? That is a good question, I don't know.

ASD just stands for Active Sound Design and just refers to the fake exhaust sounds coming through the speakers.
