Idk if its just me but my m3 is super quiet. Even in sport plus and high revs I dont get any burbles. My car is driven less than 3k miles. Is this normal or is it just me?

Tons of posts on the forums here regarding that. Especially the sub-forums but yes, stock sound is too quiet for the majority. Always personal preference. My must do mods were an SST Valve Controller(there are others out there too) and a MAD Mid Pipe. If I were in your shoes I would just start with adding the valve controller and seeing how you like it. There are many that are happy with just that. I was not and after adding the mid pipe I am VERY happy with the sound. You can do further from there like catless downpipes etc down the line but I would see how you like it as you go.

Facts on facts - however I did the MAD midpipe first then added the valve controller. If this is meant to be a fun daily, MAD for the midpipe. If you want to be loud and stand out to fellow drivers AA is your answer. For racing, Akra is the answer.

You should definitely be hearing burbles in sport +. Are the valves open?

I just added a MAD unresonated mid pipe and SST valve controller. In Sport Plus with ASD on the burbles are pretty obnoxious. ASD off with valves closed is quiet as can be. It’s nice to have the ability to switch between those, and everything in between since there is also stock valve mode and 50% open options. Definitely much better sound now.

The exhaust button is green, even though I feel like it only is fake sounds. I am not babying this car, I go full rip and I hear zero burbles which is really odd.

I agree, too quiet for me. I’ve got a Dinan mid-pipe and axle back ready to be installed during break-in service.
